(Politics) “There was a hole in Pyongyang during the unmanned period.” North Korea reveals something unusual to residents

The news of North Korea’s sensitive leaflets was reported by domestic media, and it is analyzed that there will be another purpose besides promoting hostility and strengthening internal ties against South Korea.

North Korea’s Rodong Sinmun and Korea Central Television reported that a South Korean drone dropped propaganda leaflets about Pyongyang.

The important statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which came out the day before, has been delivered as it was with an image of the drone.

(North Korea’s Korean Central Television: These irresponsible and dangerous provocations that could lead to war must be stopped immediately.)

Although North Korea has mentioned the issue of leaflets in the North through foreign media, it is very unusual for it to be reported through domestic media that can be seen by ordinary residents.

In particular, the drone capture point claimed by North Korea is a key area in Pyongyang where Kim Jong-un’s office is located.

For this reason, some analysts say that North Korea has waged a public opinion war saying that South Korean drones have been shot down over Pyongyang in order to strongly acknowledge the relationship of “two hostile countries” posited by Kim Jong- one

(Cho Han-beom / Researcher at the Chair of the Korea Institute for National Unification): The South and the North are on different paths, and it seems that the intention is to inform the residents of the belligerent offensive and war-torn Republic of Korea to promote solidarity and emphasize the atmosphere of war.)

Our government’s official position is “unconfirmed”.

It is analyzed that it opts for strategic ambiguity, but aims to confuse North Korea by leaving open all the possibilities of North Korea’s own game, the work of North Korean opposition forces or defector groups from North Korea

(Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun: Our basic position is that we cannot confirm whether these North Korean claims are true, that is our basic position)

North Korea sprayed another garbage balloon into South Korea about an hour after the announcement of the major declaration.

This is the 28th time since May this year, and the frequency is increasing.

In addition, the South Korean military is closely watching the approaching situation, as another form of provocation under the pretext of drone infiltration has come up.
