N. Korea condemns Japan's recent test-firing of Tomahawk cruise missile

BEIJING - The powerful younger sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has condemned Japan's recent test-firing of a Tomahawk cruise missile, branding the country a "war criminal state," official media reported Wednesday.

"It is now clear that such moves were, after all, a camouflaged tactic to cover up its ambition for a military giant," Kim Yo Jong, an executive of the ruling party, was quoted as saying by the state-run Korean Central News Agency.
