If the Korean Peninsula standoff evolved into an armed conflict, Japan would be the first to suffer from the fallout – both political and nuclear – North Korean state media said, warning Tokyo against any hostile actions.
“In case of a nuclear war on the peninsula, Japan that houses logistic bases, launching bases and sortie bases of the U. S. forces will be put under radioactive clouds before any country, ” state-run Rodong Sinmun newspaper said on Wednesday.
The newspaper reminded Tokyo of its previous experience involving nuclear weapons, stating that the country would become the number one target for a North Korean strike as it housed US forces and would be “put under radioactive clouds before any country.
