The drones were so unexpected that the South was forced to scramble everything from state-of-the-art fighter jets and modern attack helicopters to prop-engine war planes.
- Yoon’s office said it was under the president’s order that South Korea sent its own drones across the border into North Korean airspace on Monday in a tit-for-tat response. Mr. Yoon’s Defense Ministry said it would spend 550 billion won ($434 million) in the next five years to build weapons capable of detecting and destroying drones.
