South Korea’s Lee expressed drone incursion

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung expressed regret to North Korea over a drone incursion that he said was carried out by a South Korean individual without government approval, stressing Seoul’s commitment to preventing future incidents.
An investigation by South Korean authorities found a National Intelligence Service (NIS) employee and an active-duty military official were involved in the case, adding that the constitution forbade individual acts of provocation against North Korea.
Pyongyang said in January that drones sent from the South had violated its airspace, accusing Seoul of a serious provocation and saying it had shot them down.
