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.
