Press Statement of Kim Yo Jong, Vice Department

Director of C.C., WPK

Pyongyang, July 11 (KCNA) — Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central
Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), issued the following press statement
on Tuesday:
As regards the provocation by the U.S. forces, the military of the "ROK" again
impudently took the lead in denying the encroachment on the DPRK's sovereignty, while
shamelessly asserting that it was a "normal flight of the 'ROK' and the U.S."
The issue related to the relevant aerial area is the one between the Korean People's
Army and the U.S. forces.
The military gangsters of the "ROK" should stop acting impudently and shut up at once.
The strategic reconnaissance plane of the U.S. Air Force illegally intruded into the
economic water zone of the DPRK side in the East Sea of Korea eight times in the sky
above the sea of 435 km east of Thongchon of Kangwon Province~276 km southeast of
Uljin of North Kyongsang Province from 5:15 to 13:10 on July 10, to commit an aerial
espionage act.
I have already notified beforehand the counteraction of our army upon authorization.
In case of repeated illegal intrusion, the U.S. forces will experience a very critical flight. –
