South Korean Leader Orders Probe into Alleged Drone Attack on North Korea
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has ordered a special investigation. The probe will examine allegations that a South Korean drone illegally entered North Korea. The order follows a claim from opposition leader Lee Jae-myung. He said a South Korean civilian drone flew over the heavily fortified border. It reportedly took photos of a North Korean military guard post. President Yoon stated that if the allegations are true, it is a serious crime. He said it would threaten peace on the Korean Peninsula. The investigation will be led by the National Office of Investigation. Officials will determine if the incident happened and who was responsible. The border between North and South Korea is one of the most heavily defended in the world. Any unauthorized crossing is a major security breach.
