North Korea accused South Korea on Friday of sending drones to scatter a "huge number" of anti-North leaflets over its capital Pyongyang, in what it called a political and military provocation that could lead to armed conflict.

The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un warned Saturday that Seoul would face a “horrible disaster” if unmanned drones reached Pyongyang again, a day after accusing the South of launching such aircraft at the capital.

The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has accused South Korea of deliberately avoiding responsibility for the alleged flights of South Korean drones over the North’s capital.
