Kim Yo-jong, a senior official of the Korean Workers' Party Central Committee, issued a statement on August 5 accusing Japan of accelerating its militarization process [1]. She asserted that Japan has deployed long-range strike capabilities and completed operational deployment across multiple forward domains [1].
In response to Japan's military expansion, Kim stated that "the Korean People's Armed Forces and military leadership will formulate more explicit military options based on Japan's current military activities" [1]. She characterized Japan's defense strategy as shifting toward "preemptive strike capabilities and overseas invasion formations," citing Japan's test-firing of U.S.-made Tomahawk cruise missiles, its first postwar overseas offensive missile launch in the Philippines in May, and its deployment of Type 25 anti-ship missiles in Kumamoto Prefecture and Type 25 hypersonic glide missiles in Shizuoka Prefecture in March [1]. Kim urged heightened international vigilance regarding Japan's military trajectory [1].
