The United States committed more than 150 cases of aerial espionage against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) in January with strategic and tactical reconnaissance planes for various missions, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Friday.

The KCNA quoted DPRK military sources as saying that involved in the espionage were U-2 high altitude strategic reconnaissance planes, EP-3 special operation planes, E-3 commanding planes, RC-12 and RC-7 tactical reconnaissance planes and EH-60 electronic warfare helicopters.

On January 29 the the U.S. sent more than 100 fighter bombers, pursuit and assault planes, transport and reconnaissance planes tothe sky above Tanyang, Wonju and Phyongchange, and on January 24 and 16 the U.S. sent each day more than 150 fighter planes to the sky above Chunchon, Kaphyong, Ryoju and other areas of South Koreato stage war exercises.

Such espionage flights and war exercises clearly prove that theU.S. is seeking to achieve its aggressive design at any time as soon as it concludes its "war against terrorism" in Afghanistan after designating the DPRK as the main target of its next operation, said the agency.
