South Koreans voiced criticism over Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's recent remarks on dealing with possible refugees amid escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula, comments on social media showed Tuesday.
During a parliamentary session Monday, Abe said Japan is working on contingency plans for a possible influx of refugees from the peninsula in case of a crisis, (Yonhap) news agency reported.
He earlier said North Korea may have the ability to launch sarin-loaded missiles. The remarks were made in the midst of growing concerns that the North might carry out an additional nuclear test or a long-range missile launch this month.
On Saturday, the North marked the 105th birthday of Kim Il-sung, the late founder of the country and the grandfather of leader Kim Jong-un, by holding a military parade, showing off what appeared to be a new intercontinental ballistic missile.
It was followed by a botched missile test Sunday, the day US Vice President Mike Pence arrived in South Korea for a three-day visit.
