Oct 28, 2024, 01:15 AM

North Korea has accused South Korea of sending drones into its territory, specifically over Pyongyang, and has vowed a 'merciless' response if such actions continue. The accusations include claims that the drones took off from a western border island in early October and dropped anti-North leaflets. North Korea's defense ministry has called these actions an infringement upon its sovereignty and has issued a detailed 'final report' on the alleged drone flights. The DPRK has warned of a 'merciless offensive' if the incursions persist. In response, South Korea has dismissed these claims as 'unilateral' and has announced plans to bolster its anti-drone capabilities at major ports.
