Cross-Border Drone Tensions Escalate: Korea's Airspace Dispute

South Korea's military has neither confirmed nor denied North Korea's allegations of South Korean drones flying over Pyongyang. Meanwhile, tensions rise as South Korea calls on the North to cease sending trash balloons across the border. Accusations from North Korea's foreign ministry heighten the diplomatic strain.

In a developing dispute over airspace integrity, South Korea's military has refrained from verifying North Korea's allegations that South Korean drones have been flying over Pyongyang. The lack of confirmation from Seoul adds another layer of mystery to the contentious issue.

Simultaneously, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff have issued pleas to North Korea to cease the dispatch of trash-filled balloons into the South, a practice that has aggravated diplomatic rows between the two nations.

The tensions escalated earlier in the day as North Korea's foreign ministry accused South Korea of invading its capital city's airspace with unmanned drones, stirring further tension in the already strained relations on the Korean Peninsula.
