South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol said Wednesday he would consider suspending the 2018 inter-Korean military pact if North Korea violates its airspace again.
Yoon made the comments after being briefed on countermeasures against North Korean drones that flew over the South last week, and called for building “a stunning response capability that goes beyond proportional levels”.
Inter-Korean relations have been strained for decades, but have grown even more strained since Yoon took office in May and pledged a tougher line toward Pyongyang.
Yoon criticized the military’s handling of the drone incident, partly blaming the previous administration for relying on a 2018 pact banning hostile activities in border areas. He urged the military to be prepared to retaliate. Yoon ordered the defense minister to launch a comprehensive drone unit that performs multi-purpose missions, including surveillance, reconnaissance and electronic warfare, and to create a system to mass-produce small drones that are difficult to detect during year.
Kim said “He also called for accelerating the development of stealth drone production this year and quickly creating a drone killer system” according to the reporters.
