"Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, has rebuked claims from the South Korean government that Pyongyang was leaving room for more communication following an incident involving drones on the border between both countries. Kim, who is a high-ranking member of North Korea's ruling Workers' Party, said the South had committed a grave provocation by infringing upon the sovereignty of the North when it allegedly sent drones over the border in September and this month."
"Pyongyang first reported the drone incidents on Saturday, which it described as an act of provocation, and published photos of what it said were wrecked drones shot down near the border. Seoul swiftly launched an investigation and found that its military does not use the drone models pictured in the photos, suggesting the unmanned aerial vehicles may have been launched by South Korean civilians. South Korean President Lee Jae Myung described the incident as a serious crime that threatens peace on the Korean Peninsula"
