North Korea says it recovered crashed South Korean military drone

SEOUL: North Korea announced on Saturday ( October 19 ) that it had recovered the remains of a crashed South Korean military drone, implying that the drone was being used as a propaganda device in the most recent conflict between the two and involved cross-border flying objects.

” In light of the vehicle’s condition, the presumed period of trip, the leaflet-scattering field fixed to the underpart of the vehicle’s fuselage, etc, it is quite possible that the drone is the one which scattered leaflets over the centre of Pyongyang Municipality. However, a assumption has not yet been reached, according to state news agency KCNA.

South Korea’s state has declined to say if such robots were flown, and if they were, whether they were flown by its defense or residents. It claimed that commenting on the North’s say would be to get drawn into a plot.
