ISLAMABAD: South Korea President Yoon Suk-yeol said on Thursday that his country must enhance its preparedness to react to airspace intrusions after the military failed to gun down five North Korean drones that crossed the border last Monday.
The recent invasion by the drones, one of which flew near to the capital Seoul have prompted the South’s military to deploy fighter jets and attack helicopters.
However, despite a five-hour operation, the South Korean military failed to shoot down the North Korean drones, instigating widespread criticism of the response and an apology from defense minister of the country.
South Korea Preparations
South Korean President said the incident was intolerable adding that the South should ensure that Pyongyang must realize that any kind of provocation is always met with harsh consequences.
He warned this during a visit to the state-run Agency for Defense Development adding that his country needed overwhelmingly superior war preparations for the sake of achieving peace.
