Pyongyang Attacks 'Abe', Calling Him 'Idiot' and 'Political Dwarf'

North Korea fired two short-range projectiles into the sea off its east coast on Thursday, the fourth test of its "new multi-barreled giant launcher", with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un "very satisfied" with the latest test.

Following the test, Abe said on Thursday North Korea's missile launches were a threat to Japan and the international community and Tokyo would monitor the situation with its partners.

"Abe can be said to be the only fool in the world and the stupidest man ever known for not being able to distinguish between a rocket and a multi-barrel rocket launcher system while he was looking at the accompanying photo report,'' the North's official KCNA news agency said, citing the deputy director-general of Japan's Foreign Affairs Department.

"Abe may see what a real ballistic missile is in the not-too-distant future and right in front of him. Abe is nothing but a complete idiot and a political dwarf unlike any other in the world." He added.

UN Security Council resolutions prohibit North Korea from launching ballistic missiles and using such technology, but North Korea rejects the restrictions as a violation of its right to defend itself.
