South Korea’s Yoon slams response to North drones, vows to create drone unit

SEOUL, 28 December 2022, (TON): South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol said “he would advance the creation of a military unit specialising in drones, criticising the military response to a border intrusion by North Korean drones.”

Five North Korean drones crossed into South Korea on Monday, prompting Seoul to scramble fighter jets and attack helicopters, and try to shoot them down, in the first such intrusion since 2017.

The incident rekindled questions about South Korea’s air defences at a time when it is trying to rein in the North’s evolving nuclear and missile threats.
