North Korea claims it discovered the remains of a South Korean drone in its capital
Saturday, 19 October 2024 () North Korea claimed to discover a South Korean drone in Pyongyang, alleging it was proof of South Korean military infiltrations and propaganda activities. South Korea dismissed the claim as unilateral and unworthy of a response. Rising tensions between the nations include North Korea's threats of retaliation and ongoing psychological warfare tactics.
If the South Korean intelligence is confirmed, the troop deployment would bring a third country into the war and intensify the standoff between North Korea and the West.
