South Korea’s military sent propaganda drone from remote border island, North claims

The nuclear-armed North has accused Seoul of sending unmanned aerial vehicles into its airspace three times, which South Korea’s military has denied.

The analysis “proved that the drone of the ROK military gangsters … intruded into the capital city of the DPRK”, the official Korean Central News Agency reported, referring to both countries by the acronyms of their official names.

A graphic published by KCNA showed a flight route of the drone starting from South Korea’s Baengnyeong island and landing in Pyongyang after crossing the western sea of the Korean peninsula.

Baengnyeong is the westernmost border island in South Korea and closer to Pyongyang than Seoul.
