Iniulat ng North Korea na narekober nila ang mga labi ng bumagsak na military drone ng South Korea, na itinuturing nilang bahagi ng propaganda mission sa gitna ng patuloy na tensyon sa border.
"In light of the drone's shape, the presumptive period of flight, the leaflet-scattering box fixed to the underpart of the drone's fuselage, etc, it is quite likely that the drone is the one which scattered leaflets over the center of Pyongyang Municipality. But the conclusion has not yet been drawn," pahayag ng news agency na KCNA.
Tumanggi ang South Korea na kumpirmahin kung may pinalipad na mga drone at sinabing ang pagkomento sa pahayag ng North Korea ay magiging bahagi ng kanilang taktika.
"If a violation of the DPRK's (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) territorial ground, air and waters by ROK's (Republic of Korea) military means is discovered and confirmed again, it will be regarded as a grave military provocation against the sovereignty of the DPRK and a declaration of war and an immediate retaliatory attack will be launched," ayon sa KCNA.
"North Korea's one-sided claims are not worth verifying, nor do they merit a response," pahayag naman ng defense ministry ng South Korea.
Matatandaang tumaas ang tensyon mula nang magsimulang magpadala ng mga lobo na may basura ang North Korea sa South noong huling bahagi ng Mayo, na nag-udyok sa Seoul na ipagpatuloy ang mga propaganda broadcast, na gumalit sa Pyongyang.
