SEOUL, South Korea — The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Saturday accused South Korea of deliberately avoiding responsibility for the alleged flights of South Korean drones over the North's capital, and warned of a"terrible calamity" if they continue.
South Korea's defense minister initially denied the accusation, but the South's military later adjusted its response, saying it couldn't confirm whether or not the North's claims were true. "The moment a South Korean drone is discovered once again in skies above our capital, a terrible calamity will surely occur. I personally hope that does not happen."Tensions between the Koreas are now at their worst in years as the pace of both North Korea's missile tests and the South's combined military training with the United States have intensified in tit-for-tat.
