North Korea sent five drones into South Korean airspace on Monday in what one official called a 'clear act of provocation.'
South Korea's military launched fighter planes and helicopters on Tuesday in response to what turned out to be a flock of birds amid high tensions with neighboring North Korea.
The apparent false alarm comes after North Korea reportedly sent five unmanned drones into South Korean airspace on Monday, prompting a similar response from the military. The newspaper also reported that a total of 20 military aircraft had been deployed on Monday in an attempt to shoot down North Korean drones that had crossed the border.
