SEOUL, Jan 11, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's powerful sister has demanded a detailed "explanation" from Seoul over a drone it accused South Korea of flying over its territory, state media reported Sunday. The North alleged on Saturday that the craft crossed from the South Korean border county of Ganghwa into the North Korean city of Kaesong in early January, and released photos of wreckage from the drone it claimed to have shot down. Seoul rejected the allegation, with its defence ministry saying the drone was not a model operated by its military. But Kim said she did not care whether it was a military or civilian drone, saying "that is not the one (detail) we want to know". "Clear is just the fact that the drone from the ROK violated the airspace of our country," she added, according to KCNA.
