More than 180 Cases of Aerial Espionage against DPRK in January
Pyongyang, January 31 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialist warmongers and the south Korean puppets frantically committed aerial espionage against the DPRK in January by mobilizing strategic and tactical reconnaissance planes with various missions, according to a military source. The U.S. imperialist aggressor forces perpetrated at least 110 cases of aerial espionage and the south Korean puppet armed forces more than 70 cases in January.

On Jan.31 U-2 took off the air force base of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces in Osan, south Korea to spy on the DPRK's strategic targets. The number of the cases of such aerial espionage conducted by the plane reached 27 in January.

12 RC-12s of the U.S. imperialist aggression forces performed such espionage mission on Jan. 4 and their overseas-based E-3 committed such aerial espionage against the DPRK on Jan. 7, 12, 16 and 21.

On Jan. 20 and 28 nine different type tactical reconnaissance and commanding planes of the U.S. imperialist aggression forces and the south Korean puppet armed forces were busy with intensive aerial espionage against the DPRK.

Meanwhile, two or three RC-800s and RF-4Cs of the south Korean puppet warmongers made shuttle flights day and night almost everyday to perpetrate aerial observation and espionage against the DPRK.

These reckless acts of aerial espionage perpetrated from the outset of the new year compel the DPRK to further increase the readiness to cope with the moves of the U.S. imperialists and the warmongers of the south Korean puppet army for a war of aggression.
