160 Cases of Aerial Espionage in September

KCNA

Release Date: 10/02/2003

Pyongyang, October 1 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialist bellicose forces perpetrated at least 160 cases of aerial espionage on the DPRK in September by mobilizing strategic and tactical reconnaissance planes with different missions, a military source said. A U-2 high altitude strategic reconnaissance plane committed nearly 20 cases of photographing and electronic espionage on the depth of the DPRK.

An RC-135 strategic reconnaissance plane made flights from the sky above Tokjok Islet in the West Sea of Korea to the sky above the area east of Hungchon and Sokcho to commit photographing and electronic espionage on all areas of the DPRK while an EP-3 electronic reconnaissance plane spied on the waters off the east and west coasts and the bottom of the sea of the DPRK.

RC-12 and RC-7B tactical reconnaissance planes flew day and night in the sky above the areas along the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) to spy on the depth of the DPRK and its major targets.

Meanwhile, the U.S. imperialists recently launched aerial espionage by a new-type unmanned tactical reconnaissance plane in the sky above the areas along the MDL.
