North Korea: We found “GPS” in North Korea’s garbage balloons
According to Webangah News quoted by Mehr News Agency, citing Sputnik, the South Korean military announced on Sunday that some of the balloons filled with garbage that North Korea recently sent to South Korea were equipped with GPS transmitters.
According to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, GPS transmitters have been found inside some North Korean balloons, which, according to the South Korean military, may have come from Pyongyang. They are used to search the flight data of balloons.
According to the Yonhap news agency, a South Korean military official announced that the military is “monitoring the possible development of balloon flight technology by North Korea and is ready for emergency situations.” It will be.”
North Korea has sent about 6,000 garbage balloons to South Korea so far this year.
In the latest developments in the tension between the two Koreas, Kim Yo Jong, the vice president of the ruling Workers’ Party of North Korea and the sister of Kim Jong Un, the leader of this country, warned Seoul a few hours ago about the arrival of drones from Korea. The South told Pyongyang’s airspace that such an event would cause a “terrible disaster”.
The North Korean leader’s sister, referring to South Korea’s propaganda notices against Pongyang, said: “The fact that the means used to carry these notices are drones is the main point of contention in the recent incident.”
He added: The South Korean army is to blame for not identifying drones that a non-governmental organization crosses the border.
Following South Korea’s anti-Pyongyang propaganda announcements, the northern neighbor sent thousands of balloons containing garbage to Seoul since May, and the tension between the two countries escalated.
Pyongyang has emphasized that these balloons are a response to the actions of some activists and traitors who are present in South Korea, and by sending balloons containing announcements, they targeted Kim Jong Un for criticism and destruction. They do.
North Korea’s foreign ministry on Friday accused South Korea of sending drones to Pyongyang at night this week and last week and announced that the illegal entry of the drone into Pyongyang’s airspace requires a retaliatory response. . In response, the Joint Staff of the South Korean Army claimed that it was unable to confirm North Korea’s accusations.
