The inter-Korean road on the North side

Tensions on the Korean peninsula have been rising following South Korea-US military exercises and North Korea's frequent missile tests. The two sides have also escalated their dispute over allegations that South Korea has deployed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) near the capital Pyongyang.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un chaired a meeting of military and security officials on October 14 to discuss how to respond to South Korea's increasingly provocative behavior, which the KCNA news agency accused of infringing on North Korea's sovereignty .

The meeting came after Pyongyang accused South Korea of ​​being responsible for the drones dropping leaflets filled with "inflammatory rumors and rubbish", and warned on October 13 that it would consider it a "declaration of war" if any more drones were detected, according to AFP.

The South Korean military denied being behind the UAV flights, according to AFP.
