North Korea on Monday threatened to shoot down US spy planes that violate its airspace, while condemning Washington’s plan to deploy a ballistic missile submarine near the Korean peninsula.
According to a spokesman for the North Korean Ministry of Defense, the United States has “intensified its espionage activities beyond wartime level”, referring to American spy planes which carried out several flights in July, described as “provocateurs”, over eight consecutive days.
“A reconnaissance aircraft also repeatedly entered North Korea’s airspace over the Sea of Japan,” he said.
In a statement quoted by the state news agency KCNA, the spokesman warned of the risk of “accident” that this type of action could have caused, such as the “fall of the US Air Force strategic reconnaissance aircraft in the Sea of Japan”.
“The US military would experience a very perilous flight if there was another intrusion,” said Kim Yo Jong, the North Korean leader’s sister.
