A day after North Korea claimed that South Korean drones penetrated the skies over Pyongyang and sprayed anti-Pyongyang leaflets, it released related information and photos to residents.


The news of North Korea's sensitive leaflets was reported by internal media, and it is analyzed that there will be another purpose in addition to promoting hostility and strengthening internal ties against South Korea.

North Korea's Rodong Sinmun and Korean Central Television reported that a South Korean drone flew propaganda leaflets over Pyongyang.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' important statement, which came out the day before, was delivered as it was with a picture of the drone.

[North Korea's Korean Central TV: Such irresponsible and dangerous provocations that could lead to war must be stopped immediately.]

Although North Korea has mentioned the issue of leaflets to the North through foreign media, it is very unusual to report it through internal media that can be seen by ordinary residents.

In particular, the drone capture point claimed by North Korea is a key area in Pyongyang where Kim Jong-un's office is located.

For this reason, some analysts say that North Korea has waged a public opinion war by saying that South Korean drones have been breached over Pyongyang in order to strongly recognize the "two hostile countries" relationship raised by Kim Jong-un.

[Cho Han-beom / Chair Researcher at the Korea Institute for National Unification]: The South and the North are on different paths, and it seems that the intention is to inform the residents of the war-torn and belligerent offensive of the Republic of Korea to promote solidarity and emphasize the atmosphere of war.]

Our government's official position is 'unconfirmed'.

It is analyzed that strategic ambiguity is chosen, but it is intended to confuse North Korea by leaving open all possibilities of North Korea's own play, the work of North Korean opposition forces, or North Korean defector groups.

[Minister of Defense Kim Yong-hyun: Our basic position is that we cannot confirm whether these North Korean claims are true, this is our basic position]

North Korea sprayed another garbage balloon to South Korea about an hour after the announcement of the important statement.

It is already the 28th time since May this year, and the frequency is increasing.

On top of that, the South Korean military is closely watching the situation ahead as another form of provocation has been raised under the pretext of infiltration of drones.
