North Korea has warned Tokyo that if conflict breaks out in the region, Japan will be the first country to be smothered in nuclear clouds.

Axar.az reports cititng to PressTV “In case of a nuclear war on the peninsula, Japan that houses logistic bases, launching bases and sortie bases of the US forces will be put under radioactive clouds before any country,” said the North’s state-run Rodong Sinmun newspaper on Wednesday.
It noted that if Japan is truly “concerned about its interests” it has to endeavor towards peacefully settling tensions.

The paper further went on to remind Japan about its previous experience with nuclear bombs, while stressing that North Korean missiles would put the country “under radioactive clouds before any country.”

“As the first country in the world that suffered A-bomb disaster, Japan knows better than others how terrible the nuclear disaster is,” it added.

It also noted that Japan is using regional tensions as a pretext to amend its constitution to allow overseas military action.
