North Korea Announces Finding of a Drone Allegedly Belonging to South Korea within Its Capital City

 

In what has turned out to be a remarkable turn of events in the neighboring region, North Korea has claimed that a South Korean drone has been located in Pyongyang, its capital. As reported by the Korean Central News Agency, this assertion is made in the wake of surging animosities on the Korean Peninsula, with North Korea lately accusing South of several drone incursions. The government of North Korea alleges that the drone was used in some schemes, aimed to drop flyers with anti-North Korean contents, further worsening already sour relations between the countries in question.

The drone that has been called a damaged airplane jet with large V-wing like structures has been associated with a South Korean T-500 drone before. North Korea’s representatives claim that this drone was brought down on October 13, additionally claiming that this is a representation of South Korea’s militarized aggressiveness. South Korean military, however, regarded such statements as unilateral assertions not worthy of any response.

This incident also reveals the mind games played by both countries, as North Korea threatened to strike any offenders. Meanwhile, the allegations remain and the situation possibly hovers at the cliff edge. The finding of the drone not only aggravates the military situation but also creates doubts concerning the future of diplomacy in the region. As the sequence of events progresses, the global attention is focused on the possible eruption or settlement of hostilities.
