North Korea warns it is ready to shoot down US spy planes

The air defense systems of the Korean People's Army are ready to shoot down American aircraft as soon as the corresponding order is received from the country's military-political leadership. If American reconnaissance planes violate North Korea's airspace, they will shoot them down. This was stated by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), referring to the position of the North Korean Defense Ministry.

According to the North Korean authorities, US Air Force strategic and electronic intelligence aircraft have invaded the country's airspace for several tens of kilometers. The North Korean authorities reminded the United States of the events of 1969, when an American EU-121 aircraft was shot down in the sky over the country. According to the North Korean authorities, similar incidents could follow now if the American aviation violates the borders of the country's airspace.
