Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a commentary says this is a trick to justify its ambitious design for becoming a military giant.

What should not be overlooked is that Japan's military provocation is timed to coincide with the U.S. racket for escalating confrontation with the DPRK that has been intensified from the outset of the year, the commentary notes, and goes on:

Japan has always sought to fish in troubled waters on the Korean peninsula whose situation is inching close to a war. It has got its desired benefits at the beck and call of U.S. master. The DPRK is made the primary target of Japan's strike.

Military espionage activities that can be seen only on the eve of a war are being openly intensified. This is an indication that the Japanese reactionaries' invasion of the DPRK is on the horizon.

Japan, however, is dreaming a wild dream.

Gone are the days never to return when Japan could grab and dominate the land of other country in a brigandish way.

Those aggressors intruding into the inviolable territory of the DPRK and those servants offering their territory as bases and providing war supplies will not be able to escape the fate of forlorn wandering spirit.

Japan has to cool its head over-heated with hysteria for reinvasion, before it is too late.
