North Korea accuses South of another drone incursion

North Korea accused the South on Saturday of flying another spy drone over its territory this month, a claim that Seoul denied.

The North Korean military tracked a drone “moving northwards” over the South Korean border county of Ganghwa in early January before shooting it down near the North Korean city of Kaesong, a spokesperson said in a statement carried by the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

“Surveillance equipment was installed” on the drone and analysis of the wreckage showed it had stored footage of the North’s “important targets,” including border areas, the spokesperson said.
