Such violations, in league with South Korean “politicians and military gangsters,” seriously infringe on DPRK’s sovereignty, security and interests, as stated by Kim Yo Jong, Deputy Department Director of the Publicity and Information Department of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK).

Our airspace is not a military drill ground where the U.S. may enter at will, she stressed.

Kim Yo Jong said that a U.S. reconnaissance plane violated the DPRK’s maritime military demarcation line at about 5:00 a.m. Monday and flied away “due to a retaliatory announcement by our air force.”

But at about 8:50 a.m., it flied again over our airspace,” she noted, “and our army issued a strong warning to the U.S. armed forces.

DPRK Defense Ministry on Monday warned that the announced presence of a U.S. strategic submarine loaded with nuclear warheads on the Korean Peninsula will increase tensions in the area.

Should any unforeseen event occur, the responsibility will fall entirely on the U.S.
