Committed against DPRK
Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists committed at
least 160 cases of aerial espionage against the DPRK in July,
according to a military source. Involved in them were strategic and
tactical reconnaissance planes with various missions that took off
U.S. air force bases in south Korea and overseas. U-2s flew in the
air above the areas 120 km west of Tokjok Islet and 40 km east of
Phochon and Sokcho almost every day to spy on the depth of the DPRK
and its strategic targets.
On July 3, 6 and 27 RC-135 made shuttle flights in the air above
the areas 20 km east of Taebu Islet, Yangphyong and Yangyang to spy
on military strongholds of the DPRK. On July 7 an EP-3 flew in the
sky above the East and West seas of the north to spy on its coastal
areas and seabed.
An E-3 commanding plane committed aerial espionage against military
targets on the forefront, while commanding and controlling fighters
engaged in various war drills including a drill for striking ground
targets and a drill for close air support in the air above Kumsan,
Koesan, Ansong and Ronsan for several days.
Meanwhile, RC-7B, RC-12 and other tactical reconnaissance planes
committed aerial espionage against the front and coastal areas of
the north day and night. The planes involved numbered 7 on July 6
and 6 on July 12, 19, 22 and 27 each.
This goes to clearly prove that though the U.S. imperialists talk
they have no intention to invade the DPRK whenever an opportunity
presents itself, they, in actuality, are watching for a chance to
mount a military attack on the latter.
