PYONGYANG, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic
People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Saturday denounced the recent deployment of
one squadron of U.S. F-117 stealth fighter bombers and 300 military personnel in
South Korea.
A spokesman for the Committee for
the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland in a statement labeled the
introduction as "a dangerous military move," according to the official Korean
Central News Agency (KCNA).
"It (the introduction of F-117 fighter) is a
dangerous military move blatantly challenging...a peaceful settlement of the
nuclear issue and the peace on the Korean Peninsula as it is aimed at putting
its scenario for a war against the DPRK into practice," said the spokesman.
The statement claimed that the DPRK "is ready both
for war and dialogue."
The United States has sent between
15 and 24 radar-evading stealth fighters to South Korea this month, the U.S.
military said on Wednesday.
