   Pyongyang, February 29 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialist aggressor warhawks and the south Korean forces have persisted in the aerial espionage against the DPRK, according to a military source.
    More than 170 cases of aerial espionage were committed against the DPRK in February alone: Over 100 by the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces and more than 70 by the south Korean forces.
    On Feb. 28 south Korea-based U-2 spied on major targets in the DPRK. This plane made 25 flights to spy on the DPRK this month.
    On Feb. 12 the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces' overseas-based RC-135 flew into south Korea to spy on all areas of the DPRK. As many as nine strategic and tactical reconnaissance planes flew in the air over the forefront areas on this day alone to spy on areas of the DPRK.
    On Feb. 9, 12, 23 and 26 four RC-12s of those forces took off by turns and made long flights in the air over the areas along the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) to observe and photograph areas of the DPRK.
    On Feb. 20 and 25 three RC-800s of the south Korean forces took off by turns to perpetrate frantic aerial observation and electronic reconnaissance of the areas along the MDL. The number of espionage committed by this type plane reached more than 50 this month.
    The south Korean forces' RF-4C made shuttle flights in the sky above the MDL almost every day to conduct round-the-clock aerial observation, photographing and electronic reconnaissance.
