Pyongyang has urged Tokyo to immediately halt wastewater releases into the ocean
North Korea has called on Japan to immediately stop the release of radioactive wastewater from the destroyed Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean, according to a statement shared by the KCNA news agency on Thursday.
The Japanese move „seriously threatens the lives, safety and the future of humanity,“ the Foreign Ministry in Pyongyang said.
North Korea further accused Japan of committing an „unforgivable crime against humanity“ and demanded that it be held accountable.
The statement comes after Japan announced on Thursday that it had started the release of treated radioactive water from the site of the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster into the Pacific Ocean.
