朝鲜国防省周五在朝中社发表的声明中表示，韩美“自由旗帜”防空演习正在加剧朝鲜半岛紧张局势。
North Korea's Defence Ministry said in a statement published by state media KCNA on Friday that the South Korea-US Freedom Flag air defence drills were increasing tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
朝鲜国防省发言人称：“朝鲜为保持强大威慑姿态、有效应对美国及其附庸势力军事行动构成的一切威胁，其选择没有限度。”发言人使用了朝鲜正式名称“朝鲜民主主义人民共和国”的英文缩写DPRK。
"There is no limit for the DPRK's option to maintain a strong deterrent posture capable of effectively coping with all threats posed by the military moves of the US and its vassal forces," the ministry's spokesperson said, using the acronym for North Korea's formal name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
据韩国国防部称，韩美空军自周一起在群山空军基地实施联合防空演习，计划持续至11月6日。
South Korean and US air forces have been conducting joint air defence drills since Monday at the Kunsan Air Base, which are scheduled to run until November 6, according to the South Korean Defence Ministry.
韩国国防部表示，演习参与机型包括韩国的F-35A和美国海军陆战队的F-35B超音速战机等隐身战机。
The drills involve stealth jets including South Korea's F-35A and US Marine Coro's F-35B supersonic fighter, the ministry said.
