North Korea's state media on Saturday lashed out at Japanese Prime Minister
Shinzo Abe as an "imbecile and political dwarf" for calling Pyongyang's latest test of a large multiple-rocket launcher a ballistic
missile launch and warned he may see a real one in the near future.
North Korea fired two short-range projectiles into the sea off its east coast on Thursday in a fourth test of its new "super-large multiple-rocker launcher," with its North Korean leader
Kim Jong Un expressing "great satisfaction" over the latest test.
In the wake of Pyongyang's firing, Abe said on Thursday that North Korea's missile launch was a threat to
Japan and the international community, and that Tokyo would monitor the situation with its partners.
