DPRK moving airplanes, boosting defense after U.S. bomber flight: Yonhap

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK) has been moving airplanes and boosting defenses on its east coast after the United States dispatched B-1B bombers to the Korean peninsula over the weekend, South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported on Tuesday, citing the country’s spy agency.

The United States seemed to have disclosed the flight route of the bombers intentionally because DPRK seemed to be unaware, the report said.

South Korea’s National Intelligence Service was unable to confirm the report immediately.

DPRK’s foreign minister said on Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump had declared war on DPRK and that Pyongyang reserved the right to take countermeasures, including shooting down U.S. bombers even if they are not in its air space.
