Over 180 Cases of Aerial Espionage Committed by U.S.

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, December 31 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists committed at least 180 cases of aerial espionage against the DPRK in December, according to a military source. Strategic and tactical reconnaissance planes with diverse missions were involved in the espionage.
    More than 30 cases of espionage were perpetrated by U-2, RC-135, E-3 and EP-3.
    On Dec. 30 a U-2 took off a base of the U.S. Air Force in south Korea and made a long flight in the sky above Tokjok Islet, Phochon and Sokcho to spy on all areas of the north. Tactical reconnaissance planes including RC-12, RC-7B and RF-4C made shuttle flights day and night in the sky above the area of Tokjok Islet and Phochon, the area between Phochon and Sokcho to spy on the frontal and coastal areas of the DPRK. The planes involved in the espionage numbered 8 on Dec. 16 and 7 on Dec. 17, 23 and 28 on a daily average.
    Such espionage proves that the U.S. imperialists' talk about "dialogue" and "peaceful solution" to the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula is nothing but a smokescreen for covering up their moves for aggression against the DPRK and they are only giving spurs to their moves for a new war against the DPRK
