Kim Jong Un's sister warns of 'horrible' response to drone flights

The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un warned on Oct 12 that Seoul would face a "horrible disaster" if unmanned drones reached Pyongyang again, a day after accusing the South of launching such aircraft at the capital.

North Korea said on Oct 11 that the South had sent drones carrying propaganda leaflets into Pyongyang's airspace on Oct 3, and again on Oct 9 and 10.

South Korea's Defence Minister Kim Yong-hyun initially denied the claim, but the Joint Chiefs of Staff later amended that position, saying in a statement that they "cannot confirm whether the North Korean allegations are true or not".

Ms Kim Yo Jong, the sister of Pyongyang's leader and a key regime spokesperson, said Seoul's refusal to confirm the allegations meant that the drones were sent by "the military gangsters", referring to Seoul's forces.
