There are various analyses on who sent the drone, which North Korea claimed to have penetrated over Pyongyang.

First of all, the government evaluated that North Korea's increasing threat level to the South every day under the pretext of the drone crisis is intended to rally internally and control residents.

North Korea has poured out articles criticizing South Korea on the first and second pages of the Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the ruling Workers' Party, over its alleged infiltration of South Korean drones.

He criticized the Ministry of National Defense and demanded measures to prevent a recurrence, and he was eager to promote hostility toward the South by using the statement of Kim Yo-jung and the preparation for firing of artillery units in the front area.

Along with the Rodong Sinmun, the same goes for Korean Central TV, which can be seen by North Koreans.

The government evaluated the background of North Korea's increasing threat level day after day under the pretext of drones as intentions to unite and control the people inside the vulnerable system.

It is interpreted as "internal" to support Kim Jong-un's "hostile two-state theory," and also described a series of North Korean behaviors, including the announcement of a series of statements, as "rush."

He also mentioned a similar pattern of escalating inter-Korean tensions in 2015 when he buried wooden ship mines in the Demilitarized Zone and blew up the inter-Korean liaison office in 2020.

It can also be interpreted as meaning that it does not completely rule out the possibility of North Korea's own play over who sent the drone.

However, some analysts say that it is unlikely to be a self-made play, given that North Korea disclosed the fact that the air defense network over the "highest dignity" office has been breached.

[Cho Han-beom / Senior Researcher at the Korea Institute for National Unification]: To say that they disclosed this to the residents is a serious situation to disclose this situation even at the risk of humiliation.]

In view of the South Korean military's response, the possibility of a civilian organization's unmanned plane is also mentioned, and some analysts say that the recent replacement of North Korea's defense minister, which is our defense minister, has held North Korea responsible for the drone crisis.
