South Korean warplanes and helicopters failed to bring down any of the five North Korean drones spotted south of the border on Monday, before they flew back home or vanished from South Korean radars.
Thursday’s training involved land-based anti-air guns, drones playing the role of enemy drones, and a total of 20 fighter jets, attack helicopters and unmanned assets.

On Thursday, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol reiterated his push to build a stronger air defence and get tough on North Korean provocations.
