SEOUL, Aug 5 - North Korea's Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of leader Kim Jong Un, criticised in a statement Japan's recent test-firing of a Tomahawk missile, state media KCNA reported on Wednesday.Pyongyang will make new military choices against Japan's threat, Kim added.The sister pointed out Japan's launch of the long-range cruise missile a few days ago from the Aegis destroyer Chokai of its Self-Defense Forces in the Pacific Ocean, as well as test-firings of other missiles and its participation in a U.S.-led joint military drill in the Philippines in May.Tokyo has so far tried to "cover up its ambition for a military giant" and "the U.S. is behind such dangerous military moves of Japan," Kim said.To counter Japan's military activities that may pose a potential threat to the security of North Korea, Kim said Pyongyang "will set up additional military options," without elaborating.
