SEOUL, Jan. 14 — South Korea will take corresponding action once a joint military-police investigation into allegations raised by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) over drone incursions concludes, Unification Minister Chung Dong-young said Wednesday, Yonhap News Agency reported.
Chung made the remarks at a policy briefing by agencies affiliated with the ministry. He said the joint military-police investigation team was working swiftly and that the government would act as soon as the results are released.
Chung also called for the restoration of inter-Korean communication channels. “All channels of contact and communication between the two sides have been cut off, and we are conveying our messages only through public statements,” he said.
“This is an unnatural and abnormal situation.” Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, demanded on Tuesday that Seoul should “admit and apologize” for having violated the DPRK’s sovereignty and take measures to prevent a recurrence, the DPRK’s official Korean Central News Agency reported.
