US 'escalating' spy flights over North Korea, 160 flights in April

North Korea has accused the US of stepping up its reconnaissance overflights last month.The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said Saturday that US spy planes, including U-2s, had flown an average of more than five missions a day over North Korean airspace during April, totalling 160 sorties for the month.
A closer look at earlier data, however, paints a totally different picture; In the past six months North Korea repeatedly accused the US of conducting 180 to 190 espionage flights a month over its territory, with 210 reported for last November.
April's 160 flights thus suggests the complete opposite, and could very well indicate a shift in espionage activity to other regions of the world, like the Middle East.
