South Korea has denied a North Korean accusation that it sent drones across the border.
On Monday, Pyongyang claimed that Seoul had flown drones into its airspace. South Korean officials firmly rejected the allegation.
"We have no intention of carrying out such provocations," a South Korean military official stated.
The denial comes amid high tensions on the Korean Peninsula. Both nations have heavily fortified their shared border, known as the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
This incident follows a 2022 event where North Korean drones entered South Korean airspace. At that time, Seoul labeled the incursion a clear "act of provocation."
