CNN —North Korea accused South Korea of flying propaganda-filled drones over Pyongyang and threatened “retaliation,” state media reported Friday.
South Korea’s Joint Chief of Staff did not confirm or deny the accusations but urged North Korea to “not to act rashly” and said “all responsibility for the recent series of developments lies with North Korea,” referring to trash-laden balloons Pyongyang has been continuously sending to the South.
North Korea’s state-run KCNA published images of what it claimed to be a drone as well as pictures of leaflets that said “a comparison of the food you can buy,” and “North Korea’s economic situation falling into hell.”.
CNN cannot independently confirm the presence of drones in North Korean airspace.
And iIn 2022, North Korea sent five drones into South Korea, four of which flew around Ganghwa island and another that flew over capital Seoul’s northern airspace.
