   Pyongyang, April 30 (KCNA) -- Warmongers of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces and the south Korean puppet armed forces committed at least 170 cases of aerial espionage against the DPRK with the mobilization of strategic and tactical reconnaissance planes of different missions in April, according to a military source. More than 100 cases of them were committed by the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces and 70 odd cases by the south Korean puppet armed forces.
    The U.S. imperialist aggressor forces' overseas-based RC-135 flew into south Korea on April 23 to make a long shuttle flight on an aerial spy mission. Roughly eight reconnaissance planes were busy perpetrating aerial photographing and electronic reconnaissance of all areas of the DPRK on the same day.
    A U-2 transferred to south Korea from an overseas base shortly ago and another U-2 based in an air-force base of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces in south Korea flew in the air above the frontline areas round-the-clock almost every day to spy on major targets deep in the DPRK.
    On April 16, 22 and 23, an E-3 based in Japan was busy commanding aerial war exercises of the flying corps of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces and the south Korean puppet armed forces and spying on areas of the DPRK.
    RC-12 and RC-7B tactical reconnaissance planes of the U.S. imperialist aggression forces in south Korea also flew into the sky above the forefront areas every day to perpetrate observation and electronic espionage against the DPRK.
    Meanwhile, more than two RC-800s and RF-4Cs of the south Korean puppet army on a daily average were busy with aerial espionage against the DPRK.
