South Korea Drone Incursion Investigation 2026: The Reveal
According to Yonhap News, the joint military-police team is investigating claims made by Pyongyang regarding drone sightings in September 2025 and on January 4. While the South Korean military initially denied any involvement, a man in his 30s appeared on Channel A, asserting that he and an acquaintance were behind the launches.
