South Korean police and military investigators raided the homes and offices of three civilian suspects accused of drone flights into North Korea, escalating the probe sparked by a graduate student's public claim last week. The action targets individuals linked to sovereignty violation claims by Pyongyang in late 2025 and early 2026.
President Lee Jae-myung on Tuesday ordered a thorough investigation into a civilian's drone flights into North Korea—claimed by a graduate student last week—and likened the act to 'starting a war.' He reprimanded the defense minister for surveillance lapses and urged avoiding escalation. South Korea denies Pyongyang's sovereignty violation accusations.
