South Korea's defense ministry on Friday bristled at the Japanese prime minister's controversial visit to a war shrine, saying Tokyo's "untrustworthy" behavior leaves no room for further military ties between the two Asian neighbors. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday made an inflammatory visit to the Yashukuni war shrine, prompting Seoul to denounce it as a "lamentable" and "anachronistic act" that will result in diplomatic repercussions. In line with the strong tone set by the South Korean government, the defense ministry said Abe's shrine visit will negatively affect the two nations' military ties.
