The DPRK will regard the repeated appearance of a South Korean drone in its airspace as a declaration of war, the Korean Central News Agency reports, citing a representative of the country’s Defense Ministry. He added that the republic will act at its own discretion.
Earlier, the DPRK Foreign Ministry also issued a warning to Seoul. According to the ministry, Pyongyang will put its offensive capabilities on the border with the neighboring country on full alert.
The DPRK General Staff also promised to close roads with South Korea in order to turn the ” border into a fortress .” The department explained that the measures would be taken in response to the “serious situation in the southern border area” of the republic.
Before this, the DPRK launched garbage balloons towards the ROK in response to the threat of taking tough military action if North Korea “crosses the line.” Seoul, reacting to these steps, broadcasts slogans through loudspeakers every day.
