Xinhua News Agency, Pyongyang, March 13 (Reporter Wang Tianliao, Wang Chao) The Korean Central News Agency commented on the 13th that Japan's attempt to rearm and promote the revival of militarism, disregarding the strong concerns and condemnation from the world, will touch the "red line."

The commentary pointed out that the current reality is that the revival of Japanese militarism has made the regional security environment more severe. If Japan continues to act recklessly and inappropriately, ignoring the strong concerns and condemnation from the world, it will touch the "red line" and ultimately get caught up in undesirable situations.

The Japanese Ministry of Defense has transported the land-based improved Type 12 anti-ship missile launchers to the Ground Self-Defense Force's Kengun base in Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture, early on the 9th, and stated that it will officially deploy them at the Kengun base on the 31st of this month.
