SEOUL, March 29 (Yonhap) – The Air Force received two U.S.-made F-35A fighter jets at a key base in South Korea on Friday to join the ranks of Asia's few radar-evading warplane operators, Seoul's arms procurement agency said.

They arrived at an air base in Cheongju, 140 kilometers south of Seoul, at 2:35 p.m. after several stopovers for refueling following their departure from Luke Air Force Base in Arizona last Friday, the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) said.

North Korea appears to be keeping its uranium enrichment facility in its mainstay nuclear complex in Yongbyon, north of Pyongyang, in "normal operation," South Korea's spy agency said Friday.

During its briefing to the National Assembly's intelligence committee, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) also said that the communist state stopped the operation of a five-mega-watt nuclear reactor at the Yongbyon complex late last year.
