Seoul predicts
mission by northern drones that penetrated its airspace
Seoul sources have tipped that North Korean drones that violated the country's airspace yesterday took photographs of South Korea's presidential office.
Due to Monday's breakthrough, Dora Observatory, Third Tunnel and Gendol "Imjingak" were decommissioned in the border city of Bajo and visitors' access there was restricted.
Yonhap quoted a source as indicating that
a North march on
Monday penetrated South Korean airspace, raising the possibility that it would penetrate airspace over South Korea's presidential office in the Young Sang district of Seoul and take photographs of the presidential office and surrounding area.
The North Korean drone's arrival in airspace over South Korea's presidential office was observed during the day, which may indicate that military gaps in the air defence system were detected.
The south Korean army said that "a drone was first observed
among 5 north Korean drones, crossing the border
entering directly into Seoul
- and flying over the south for about 3 hours before returning to the north.
- "This drone entered the neutral waters of
- the Han River between the cities of Kimbo
Bajo :
- exiting Seoul through the city's northern region However
- it did not reveal the exact extent of the northern region
as it was not constantly tracked over Seoul.
but it has been detected and lost on the radar network frequently
and the movement has been expressed as points instead of the line
it is not clear to determine the course of movement ".
I am confident that North Korea has more
precise drones than it did 5 years ago
said military expert Bruce Bent, head of researchers at the U.S. Land Institute regarding the penetration of North Korean drones into South Korean airspace yesterday.
North Korea is estimated to possess hundreds of drones, and can use them to transport high-quality explosives and biochemical weapons, which could pose a serious threat to South Korea, he said.

We are aware of North Korea's drone flights across the line of contact, and we are in close consultation with South Korea on the nature of this incursion, a U.S. National Security Council official told Yonhap on Monday.
The United States' commitment to
protecting South Korea remains unwavering.
5 North Korean drones entered South Korean airspace on Monday, December 26, and South Korean aircraft and helicopters took off to intercept North Korean parades.
