North Korea Warns of War Over South Korean Drone Provocations
The North Korean military has issued a warning, stating that further military provocations by Seoul could lead to a declaration of war. This comes after photos were released by the North Korean Defense Ministry, claiming to show a South Korean drone that was used to drop propaganda leaflets over Pyongyang.
The crashed UAV was discovered in the north-west of the North Korean capital, with the ministry confirming its South Korean origin after a technical examination. Pyongyang has cautioned that any violation of its territory will be considered a grave military provocation, potentially leading to war.
North Korea has accused South Korea of sending multiple drones over Pyongyang this month, leading to increased tensions between the two countries. Seoul has not confirmed the drone flights but has warned of severe consequences if North Korea retaliates against them.
In response to the alleged drone incursions, North Korea has severed road and rail links with the South. The situation remains tense as both sides navigate the possibility of further escalation.
