He repeatedly claimed that the drone sprayed with anti-North Korean leaflets over Pyongyang was sent by the South Korean military, but if it recurred, he threatened to strike the origin.

Reporter Lee Jong-won, please tell us more about what the North Korean media reported.

Yes, the Korean Central News Agency reported today the final results of its investigation into the drone incident announced by a spokesman from the Ministry of National Defense.

A Defense Ministry spokesman said in the announcement of the results that the drone took off from Baengnyeong Island in the South.

The same article was posted in the Rodong Sinmun, which residents read, and the flight history divided by minutes and seconds along with related graphics was tabulated.

The drone that crashed in Pyongyang took off from Baengnyeong Island at 11:25:30 p.m. on October 8 and crossed into North Korea, according to the analysis.

Also claimed that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office at 1:32:08 a.m. the next day and political incitement filth, or propaganda leaflets, was sprayed over the Ministry of National Defense office at 1:35:11 a.m.

The flight control program contained 238 other flight plans and histories, emphasizing that they were all flight data within the Korean territory except on the day of the crash.

Based on such data, North Korea has repeatedly claimed that the South Korean military's drone provocation has been proven.

At the same time, he threatened that if it recurred, the origin of the provocation would disappear forever due to our harsh offensive actions.

After claiming that a South Korean drone penetrated Pyongyang on the 11th and distributed leaflets, North Korea also released photos that it found the wreckage of the crashed drone on the 19th.

However, the South Korean military has maintained its position that it cannot confirm or that it is not worth responding to, but today it expressed the same position on North Korea's claims.

In a separate statement today, North Korean Labor Party Vice Chairman Kim Yo-jong hinted at further provocations, saying, "I'm very curious about how South Korea will react if a drone appears over Seoul and distributes leaflets and they can't confirm it."
