Seoul – North Korea on Tuesday described its record-breaking blitz of missile launches last week as a "just counteraction" to the biggest-ever U.S.-South Korea air exercises.
Pyongyang has long condemned joint military exercises by Seoul and Washington, calling them rehearsals for an invasion — but it has appeared especially sensitive to air force drills.
That is because North Korea's air force is the weakest link in its military, experts say.
