UN Command says both Koreas violated armistice with drone intrusions

Finding comes after North Korea flew 5 drones into ROK territory last month and South sent a drone over border in reply

The UNC Military Armistice Commission’s Special Investigation Team (SIT) also determined that the ROK military’s attempts to neutralize North Korea’s unmanned aerial systems (UAS) within South Korean territory were in compliance with the armistice.
