War Exercises against DPRK Continued by U.S. Forces in S. Korea

   Pyongyang, November 9 (KCNA) -- Air pirates of the 8th and 51st fighter regiments under the U.S. 7th Air Force in south Korea staged air war exercises on Nov. 6 and 7 to examine and round off their practical capability under the scenarios of operations for invading the DPRK, according to a military source.
    At least 250 F-16 fighter-bombers and A-10 assault planes were hurled into the frantic war exercises which consisted of surprise strike at ground objects, close air support and aerial battle.
    Meanwhile, the U.S. imperialists moved their guided missile destroyer, which had already been sent to Phyongthaek port of south Korea from their overseas military base, to the east sea to conduct landing maneuvers together with another guided missile destroyer there.
    The U.S. imperialist warmongers also committed aerial espionage on the DPRK as a whole by sending 15 strategic and tactical reconnaissance planes including U-2, RC-12 to the sky above the Military Demarcation Line and the east and west coasts on Nov. 5 and 7.
    What was more serious is that such military actions were conducted when the U.S. secretary of Defense and the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff visited south Korea to have an "annual security consultative meeting" and a "military committee meeting" with the south Korean military authorities, at which they discussed the introduction of up-to-date military equipment and other matters for war against the DPRK.
