South Korea admits failure to shoot down North Korean drones that crossed the border

South Korea's military has apologized for its failure to shoot down any of the North Korean drones that crossed over the border. For almost five hours, the North Korean drones flew above various South Korean cities, including Seoul. It was the first such intrusion since 2017 and raised serious questions about Seoul's air defenses. In response, the country's president says he will accelerate plans to create a specialized military unit to deal with drones, as tensions increase across the Korean peninsula.
