North Korea scrambled jets after U.S. spy aircraft approached – KCNA

North Korea’s military has announced that it scrambled jets in response to a U.S. reconnaissance aircraft trespassing into its economic zone off its east coast, according to state news agency KCNA on Friday.

In a report, an unnamed spokesperson of the General Staff of the Korean People’s Army referred to the incident, which took place on Thursday, as “a dangerous military provocation” and stated that North Korea is contemplating measures to deter future incursions.
