We have received evidence that the Republic of Korea (RoK)’s military leadership is the main responsible for the hostile and provocative act of violating the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK)’s sovereignty by flying drone over Pyongyang,” Kim denounced in a statement.

The official warned of a “tragedy” if South Korean drones fly over the country’s territory again.

Sending propaganda leaflets over its capital is a serious political provocation and a violation of our country’s sovereignty. The more dangerous aspect is using drones that can be considered military means, she said.

The DPRK Foreign Ministry informed that South Korean drones dropped thousands of leaflets with subversive propaganda over Pyongyang in the late hours of October 3, 9, and 10, and said Seoul crossed the “red line of its provocative behavior.”
