South Korea president says regrets 'reckless' drones sent to NorthSEOUL, April 6, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - South Korean President Lee Jae Myung expressed regret to Pyongyang Monday over drones sent into North Korea earlier this year, actions he called "irresponsible". The North warned in February of a "terrible response" if it detects more drones crossing the border from the South, prompting Seoul to investigate the claims. "We express regret to the North over the unnecessary military tensions caused by the irresponsible and reckless actions of some individuals." He added that South Korea's constitution bans private individuals from conducting acts that could "provoke the North". Former South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol, is standing trial over charges that his administration sent drones into the North to provoke a backlash and create a pretext for declaring military rule.
