N Korea accuses US of entering its air space

North Korea has accused the United States of illegally flying over the economic zone eight times and warned of counter-action, state media Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Tuesday. Kim Yo Jong, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s sister and a key ruling party official, in a press statement said, “In case of repeated illegal intrusion, the US forces will experience a very critical flight.” She also claimed that South Korea had again impudently taken the lead in denying the encroachment on North Korea’s sovereignty and still the nation assert that it was a “normal flight of the ‘ROK’ and the US.” “The strategic reconnaissance plane of the U.S. Air Force illegally intruded into the economic water zone of the DPRK side in the East Sea of Korea eight times in the sky above the sea of 435 km east of Thongchon of Kangwon Province~276 km southeast of Uljin of North Kyongsang Province from 5:15 to 13:10 on July 10, to commit an aerial espionage act,” Kim Yo Jong said. The Pentagon earlier brushed aside Pyongyang’s accusations of airspace violations and said the US military had adhered to international law, reported KCNA. “The United States, as always, remains committed to safely and responsibly flying, sailing, and operating anywhere that international law allows and alongside our allies and partners,” Sabrina Singh, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary said in a media briefing.
