North Korea conducted more than 180 military flights across its inland areas on Nov. 4, the South Korean military said, prompting it to scramble dozens of fighter jets to maintain its response posture.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said it detected North Korean fighters and bombers flying over the North’s inland areas and along its western and eastern coasts between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. (local time), although the aircraft didn’t approach the inter-Korean border.
