The wreckage of a suspected North Korean UAS was found on Monday near a sensitive inter-Korean maritime border in the Yellow Sea, the military said. The wreckage was collected by a fisherman at around 2:20 p.m. while he was fishing in waters near the South Korean border island of Baengnyeong, the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
The military said it believes the remains belong to a small-size, unmanned aerial drone from North Korea. The aircraft’s light blue wreckage was found 6 kilometers (3.75 miles) west of Baengnyeong island, and bore similarities to drones that had been found earlier this year.
Previously, three drones were found crashed in South Korea in March and April, with officials concluding that they were sent from the North for spying missions.
The North, however, has rejected the investigation result.
