North Korea Drone Incursion Claims 2026 Stir Regional Tensions
North Korea accuses South Korea of drone incursions in January 2026, warning of a 'high price'. Seoul denies the claims, while Kim Yo-jong calls the South's stance a 'wise choice'.
The DMZ's skies are quiet, but the rhetoric is deafening. North Korea has issued a stern warning over alleged South Korean drone incursions, marking a sharp escalation in psychological warfare between the two neighbors.
North Korea Drone Incursion Claims 2026 and Seoul's Denial
