Five North Korean drones crossed into South Korea, including one that flew near Seoul. South Korea responded by scrambling jets as well as attack helicopters and attempted to shoot down the drones.
The drones sent by Pyongyang, which crossed into Seoul’s airspace Monday (Dec. 26), measured about two meters, according to South Korean defense official Lee Seung-o.
He added that Seoul failed in its attempts to down the drones.
South Korea’s defense agency believes one drone returned to North Korean territory and is unsure about the fate of the other four.
Seoul says it is unsure if the drones were armed or not. The airspace incursion caused South Korea to temporarily close its two largest airports.
Seoul also scrambled several jets and helicopters, including one light-attack aircraft that crashed.
