NEW DELHI:

North Korea

accused US and

South Korea

of increasing

surveillance activities

along the

inter-Korean border

warning that it would take action if its sovereignty and security is violated, state media KCNA reported.
"Even now, the US and South Korean puppet air forces are continuously mobilising various aircraft with little or no time gap throughout the day, carrying out aerial reconnaissance activities at a level comparable to wartime situations," North Korea's defence minister Kim Gang Il said in a statement published by KCNA.
"We will act immediately when the nation's sovereignty and security interests are violated," Kim added.
He also accused South Korea's navy and coast guard of escalating military tensions by expanding patrols and breaching the maritime border.

He claimed that between May 13 and 24, the United States flew at least 16 RC-135 and U-2S strategic reconnaissance planes, as well as an RQ-4B drone, over the Korean peninsula.
He further criticized propaganda leaflets sent in balloons from South Korea, calling them a "dangerous provocation."
North Korean defectors and activists in South Korea often send balloons filled with anti-Pyongyang leaflets, as well as food, medicine, money, tiny radios, and USB sticks loaded with South Korean news and dramas.
