December 30 (KCNA) - The U.S. imperialist aggression forces committed more than 2,200 cases of aerial espionage against the DPRK this year by mobilizing strategic and tactical reconnaissance planes with different missions based overseas and in south Korea, according to a military source. This means six reconnaissance planes were involved in the espionage on a daily average. The number of cases of espionage perpetrated by U-2 reached at least 300 cases. The U.S. imperialists periodically infiltrated overseas-based RC-135 into the air above south Korea to commit more than a hundred cases of aerial espionage. Overseas-based E-3 and EP-3 flew into the air above south Korea respectively in the period from Dec. 11 to 14 and in the period from Dec. 14 to 21 to commit over 60 cases of espionage this year.

The U.S. imperialists sent at least 120 planes with various missions including RC-7B and RC-12 into the sky over the area along the Military Demarcation Line day and night in December to frantically spy on the front area and the Eastern and Western coastal areas of the DPRK.
