Five North Korean drones crossed into South Korea on Monday (December 26) and South Korea responded by scrambling jets and attack helicopters and opening fire to try to shoot down the North Korean aircraft, the South Korean military said.
South Korea tracked the drones crossing from North Korea over what is known as the Military Demarcation Line between the two countries after detecting them in the skies of the western city of Gimpo at around 10:25 a.m. local time, according to the military.
A South Korean military official said the border intrusion by North Korean drones is a clear act of provocation.
