released a series of statements accusing the US of flying a military plane close to the country to spy on the North., warned the US of"a shocking incident" in a statement on Monday, in which she claimed that the spyplane flew over the North's exclusive economic zone eight times earlier in the day.In another statement on Tuesday, Ms Kim said the US military would experience"a very critical flight" if it continues its aerial spying activities.
Both the US and South Korea dismissed the accusations and urged North Korea it to refrain from any behaviour that raised animosities. Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha University in Seoul, said the statements against the US were part of a North Korean pattern of"inflating external threats to rally domestic support and justify weapons tests".
