CAMP HUMPHREYS, South Korea — North Korea on Monday accused the United States of violating its airspace with reconnaissance aircraft and warned that Pyongyang may shoot them down in the future.

North Korea claimed U.S. surveillance aircraft, including the crewed RC-135 and unmanned RQ-4 Global Hawk, flew over waters east and west of the Korean Peninsula between July 2 and Sunday “to conduct provocative aerial espionage,” according to a statement from the country’s Defense Ministry published Monday by the state-run Korean Central News Agency.
