KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 1 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists made more than 220 aerial espionage flights against the DPRK involving a great number of strategic and tactical reconnaissance planes of various missions in May, according to military sources. On May 29 the U.S. imperialists' RC-135 strategic reconnaissance plane made shuttle flights in the sky above the area between Paeka islet in the west sea of Korea and east of Sokcho, spying on the depth of the north.
    On May 28, EP-3 electronic reconnaissance plane also made shuttle flights in the sky above areas between Yangyang, South Kangwon Province and west of Taebu islet. On May 20 and 22 P-3 patrol plane made similar flights in the sky above areas between Sokcho and the areas around Tokjok islet in the west sea, spying on the military targets of the north and its sea bed.
    Meanwhile, the U.S. imperialists' RC-12 and RC-7B tactical reconnaissance planes also made shuttle flights in the sky above areas between Kwanghwado and Phochon and between Phochon and Sokcho, spying on the frontline and coastal areas.
    These espionage flights clearly indicate the frantic attempt of the U.S. to stifle the DPRK by force, vociferating about the "nuclear crisis."
