S.Korea fires warning shots after drone spotted

SEOUL, South Korea, Jan 13: News reports say that South Korea has fired warning shots after a North Korean drone was seen crossing the Korean border.

Yonhap news agency reported the North Korean drone returned to the North on Wednesday shortly after the South fired.


South Korea's Defense Ministry couldn't immediately confirm the report.

The incident comes amid animosities between the two Koreas in the wake of North Korea's nuclear test one week ago.

South Korea's president earlier Wednesday urged North Korea's only major ally, China, to help punish Pyongyang's recent nuclear test with the strongest possible international sanctions.
