U.S. TO RESUME SPY FLIGHTS NEAR NORTH KOREA
The United States planned today to resume spying on North Korean military activities from the skies above the Sea of Japan, while Japan said it was sending a destroyer to the same waters amid reports that North Korea may test-fire yet another missile into the area.The United States command here said all aerial reconnaissance flights would take off as usual from bases in Japan but did not say if fighter planes would escort them in view of an increased threat from North Korean military jets.
