A suspected North Korean drone photographed a U.S. missile defence system in South Korea before it crashed near the border where it was found last week, Seoul’s Defence Ministry said Tuesday. RelatedUnder a deal with Moon’s conservative predecessor, the United States deployed key components of the so-called Terminal High-Altitude Area Defence system this spring to cope with a potential North Korean nuclear threat. North Korea called the system a provocation aimed at bolstering U.S. military hegemony in the region. North Korea has touted its drone program in recent years, and South Korean officials believe its military has about 300 drones. In 2014, several suspected North Korean drones were found south of the border.
