The DPRK ridiculed the missile defense cooperation of the United States, Japan and South Korea.

The DPRK called cooperation between the United States, South Korea and Japan on the exchange of information about missile launches “an attempt to protect oneself from the hail of fire with a torn umbrella,” the North Korean Central Telegraph Agency (KCNA) reports.

In December, the United States, Japan and South Korea adopted a multi-year exercise plan and fully activated a mechanism for sharing real-time warnings about North Korean missile launches.

“This is nothing more than a stupid attempt to protect ourselves from a hail of fire with the help of a tattered umbrella called an information exchange system,” the agency said in a statement.

KCNA notes that the US-Japanese proxies’ missile information sharing strategy is in line with the US hegemonic strategic plan to suppress strategic adversaries by manipulating the trilateral military alliance in the Asia-Pacific region under the pretext of responding to the North Korean threat.
