The U.S. flew its surveillance plane over the East Sea on an apparent mission to collect intel concerning North Korea.
Aviation tracker Aircraft Spots tweeted... the RC-135-S Cobra Ball, which specializes in tracking the flight trajectory of ballistic missiles from afar,... departed Kadena Air Base in Okinawa early Tuesday.
The last time the spy plane was sighted surveilling the East Sea was in early October.
The deployment comes a week after the regime fired what it called a super-large multiple rocket launcher, the latest in a series of tests since early May.
