On October 14, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that Russia views South Korea’s drone infiltration into Pyongyang as an interference in North Korea’s internal affairs. She urged South Korean authorities to take North Korea’s warnings seriously. In response, a South Korean Foreign Ministry official expressed regret over Russia’s stance, claiming it “supports unverified, one-sided assertions from North Korea.”

According to previous reports, on October 11, the North Korean Foreign Ministry claimed that South Korea had used drones to penetrate Pyongyang’s airspace on October 3, 9, and 10, distributing numerous anti-North propaganda leaflets. On October 12, Kim Yo-jong, deputy director of the North Korean Workers’ Party Central Committee, stated that “the South Korean military cannot evade responsibility as the main provocateur or accomplice in this significant violation of sovereignty.” On the 14th, Kim emphasized that North Korea is aware that South Korea was behind the drone incident, asserting that if the sovereignty of a nuclear power is violated by forces trained by the U.S., then the U.S. must be held accountable.

In comments posted on the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website, Zakharova noted the rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula, highlighting reports from North Korea that drones from South Korea had infiltrated areas including Pyongyang, distributing propaganda. She criticized this behavior as a blatant violation of North Korea’s sovereignty and interference in its domestic affairs.

Zakharova insisted that South Korea should take North Korea’s warnings seriously and halt reckless provocative actions that escalate tensions on the peninsula, stressing that lasting peace and stability in the region can only be achieved through political and diplomatic means based on the principle of indivisible security.

Meanwhile, the South Korean government expressed regret over Russia’s comments, with a Foreign Ministry official stating that all responsibility for the recent incidents lies with North Korea. The official remarked, “The Russian Foreign Ministry supports unverified, one-sided claims from North Korea and alleges that South Korea violated North Korea’s sovereignty and interfered in its internal affairs. We deeply regret this assertion.”
