In a commentary on its state news agency, North Korea accused the United States and South Korea of increasing the risk of war by flying reconnaissance planes over the Korean Peninsula on a daily basis.
North Korea's state-run Korean Central News Agency published an editorial criticizing both the United States and South Korea, saying that American and South Korean military reconnaissance planes were flying daily over the military demarcation line between North and South Korea and the waters around the Korean Peninsula. I told you on the 17th.
The statement argues that ``brazen reconnaissance activities on the Korean Peninsula, where the possibility of military conflict is always present, is a provocation that will push the situation in the region into a catastrophic situation.''
He then threatened, ``We are on the verge of war, ready to attack and annihilate our enemies at any time, elevating the risk of war.''
On the other hand, the commentary used the expression ``border'' to refer to the border with South Korea, and once again emphasized the shift to a policy that regards South Korea as a hostile country rather than a target for peaceful unification.
North Korea has launched an unprecedented five cruise missiles this year, which are said to be weapons used to attack South Korean forces, American forces in South Korea, and American military bases in Japan in the event of an emergency on the Korean Peninsula. The missiles are being launched at a high frequency, making it clear that they are confronting both the United States and South Korea.
