North Korea's state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said Sunday that the United States' decision to place stealth fighter-bombers undetectable by radar in South Korea is a dangerous sign that indicates a prelude to war.

The KCNA reported that the United States had decided to deploy fifteen F-117 stealth fighter-bombers to South Korea in late May, and said that it was obviously a dangerous sign that foretells the outbreak of a war.

An official at the U.S. Forces in Korea said last Thursday that the deployment of stealth bomber to South Korea was part of a continuing rotation of forces to get airmen acquainted with the geography of the Korean Peninsula and operational plans, the North Korean news agency reported. The KCNA emphasized that it was the fifth time since 1993 that the United States had deployed stealth bombers to South Korea.

After terminating the nine-year-long excavation of bodies of U.S. soldiers killed during the Korean War in North Korea last Wednesday, the U.S. Department of State announced Thursday that it would carry out military exercises near the Korean Peninsula with 15 stealth bombers.
