JAKARTA - North Korea continues to carry out provocations as a gesture of rejection of the South Korean-US joint military exercises. South Korean radar captured 180 North Korean fighter jets carrying out unusual activities in various locations.

Quoted from Channel News Asia, Friday, November 4, the South Korean military immediately deployed 80 fighter jets they had. This includes the F-35A stealth fighter in response to North Korea.

However, the 240 aircraft participating in the Vigilant Storm aerial exercise with the United States continued to train.

For four hours, Friday, November 4, the North Korean jet flew north from the so-called tactical line. Its movement is up to 20 km north of the Military Demarcation Line (MDL), South Korea's military said in a statement.

North Korean planes, including warplanes and bombers, were seen flying between 11 am and 3 pm over its interior and off its west and east coasts without approaching the inter-Korean border, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).

Apart from being on guard, South Korean jets are also trying to confirm the exact number of North Korean aircraft being mobilized.
