The South Korean military sent a propaganda drone from a remote border island, North claims

North Korean state media said on Monday that an investigation had ‘proven’ South KoreaThe country’s military sent a drone over Pyongyang to drop propaganda leaflets, calling it a violation of its sovereignty.

The nuclear-armed North has accused Seoul of sending unmanned aerial vehicles into its skies three times, which the South Korean military has denied.

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

An image published by KCNA showed a flight path 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 South Korea’s westernmost border island and is closer to Pyongyang than Seoul.
