Activist says he will send drones into North Korea carrying anti-regime leaflets

Park Sang-hak tells NK News drones are on ‘standby,’ weeks after DPRK’s unmanned aerial vehicle breached Seoul airspace

High-profile defector Park Sang-hak plans to fly drones into North Korea to disseminate anti-regime leaflets and USB sticks in the near future, the activist told NK News on Tuesday, calling the technology a game-changer for leafleting.

Park’s announcement comes weeks after five DPRK drones breached ROK airspace, with one even entering the no-fly zone near the presidential office in Seoul. The Yoon administration responded to the rare intrusion by sending an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) into North Korea and is now mulling whether to suspend a 2018 inter-Korean military deal.
