North Korea Claims Japan's Overseas Militaristic Expansion is 'Very Real'

July 8, 2026Diego Herrera1 мин

North Korea is invoking the specter of Japanese military imperialism, and today, through the state news agency KCNA, it alleged that Japan is rearming beyond a mere defense policy, transforming its armed forces into a "fully offensive and aggressive force."

This assertion emerges as North Korea increasingly highlights its own naval modernization program, recently commissioning two new destroyers. Pyongyang claims that it is, in fact, Japan that is currently developing an uncrewed submarine system capable of carrying out anti-ship attacks using torpedoes and underwater mines, according to Reuters. Japan has declined to comment on these reports when approached by the media.
