South Korea military drone tensions rise as the country declares full readiness to counter increasing drone threats in the region.
South Korea's military said Monday it was"fully ready" to respond after North Korea ordered troops on the border to prepare to fire in an escalating dispute over drone flights to Pyongyang.
But the North insists Seoul is officially to blame, announcing late Sunday it had told eight artillery brigades already on war footing"to get fully ready to open fire", and reinforced air observation posts in Pyongyang. In a statement early Monday, Kim Yo Jong said the drone flights were"an unpardonable, malicious challenge to our state".
"The North can't even confirm the origin of a drone in the Pyongyang sky but is placing blame on the South -- all the while keeping a shut mouth on its sending of a drone southward on ten occasions," spokesman Lee said.Seoul's military said Monday that the North appeared to be preparing to carry out explosions at roads connected to the South, days after Pyongyang said it would seal the border.
North Korea has been bombarding the South with trash-carrying balloons -- retaliation, it says, for propaganda launched by activists in the South. One expert said it was"more likely" that the drones had been launched by activists in the South rather than fabricated by the North, as Pyongyang's statements were effectively an admission that air security had been breached.
