Japan will face total destruction through neo-militarism, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said Sunday in a commentary.

Since the start of the new year, Japan's ultra-right ruling forces have posed a significant threat to regional and global security, according to the commentary.

A "typical example" is Japan's efforts to push forward the revision of its National Security Strategy within the year.

Japan is mulling throwing away even the mask of "pacifist state" and evolving into "a war state and an aggressor state," the article said, calling the development "a clear revelation of the neo-militarist frenzy to totally deny its past crimes and bring back the era of the old empire at any cost."

KCNA pointed out that the current Japanese government has been working to realize the "cherished desire" of ultra-right political forces since its inauguration to revise the constitution, which past governments failed to do.

The Japanese government is actively developing space combat forces and building up hundreds of "powder storehouses" on the archipelago of Japan, said the article.

It added that even Japanese media said it would be difficult to guarantee that Japan would not return to the fascist path of the militarist period.

"The neo-militarism, obsessed with hatred for other nations, revanchism and ambition for conquest, started to rise up in the period of the Abe regime and has become rampant in the present era," the commentary said, adding that militarism could threaten the peace and stability of the world.

The commentary said history has proven that "the destination of militarism was a ruined Japan, not a strong Japan."
