Tensions between the two Koreas have soared, as Pyongyang announced Sunday that it has ordered artillery units along the border to be “fully prepared to open fire” in response to another possible drone flight, after his complaint that Seoul had flown the unmanned device in its airspace.
North Korea has accused South Korea of ​​carrying out “drone infiltrations” on three occasions earlier this month to spread large numbers of “defamatory leaflets” against Pyongyang over the capital. The country’s Defense Ministry also said Sunday that air defense observation posts in Pyongyang have been reinforced, according to state media.
South Korea has declined to confirm whether it was its military or a civilian organization that sent the drones, but warned that North Korea would face “the end of its regime” if it launches an attack against the country.
The North Korean Defense Ministry warned in a statement on Sunday that Pyongyang would consider “a declaration of war” if drones coming from South Korea are sighted again, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and a senior official in the ruling party, attacked Seoul in a statement broadcast on Sunday by KCNA, in which she described its refusal to send drones as “a horrendous crime that seeks to light the fuse to the outbreak of a war at any price.
Last week, North Korea announced measures to completely separate its territory from South Korea amid rising tension between the two countries, saying it will cut road and rail connections with the South and fortify areas on its side of the border. .
