North Korea threatens to shoot down Japanese aircraft
Pyongyang, North Korea - Pyongyang charges Tokyo of espionage
(WAPA) - North Korea launched yesterday a series of heavy threats against Japan, charged of aerial espionage with Boeing E-767 reconnaissance aircraft in the zone of the missile-plants of Musudan-ri, in the North West of the communist country.

A note issued by Pyongyang's Air Force states: "The Air Force of the Korean People's army will not tolerate even a bit the aerial espionage by the warmongers of the Japanese aggression forces but mercilessly shoot down any plane intruding into the territorial air of the country even 0.001 mm".

Violating international resolutions, following nuclear and missile tests of the recent months, North Korea decided to designate a no-sail zone off its East coast, from June 25 to July 10, justifying the decision with undetermined military operations. South-Korean sources believe that short and medium range missiles are going to be shot. (Avionews)
