South Korea fires warning shots after North Korea drones enter its airspace

Details: It's not clear if the South Korean military succeeded in shooting down the drones.

• One drone traveled near Seoul, South Korea's capital, which is about an hour away from the border if traveling by car, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff Lee Seung-o said in a briefing, per Reuters.
• One of South Korea's fighter jets crashed during takeoff, but its two pilots survived after ejecting from the aircraft, AP reports.
• Commercial flights at two international airports near Seoul were temporarily suspended, per the New York Times.

State of play: South Korea's military response comes days after North Korea discharged two short-range ballistic missiles following a string of weapons drills this year, escalating tensions between the two countries, per AP.

Flashback: In 2017, a North Korean drone with a camera was found on a mountain in South Korea close to the border. The South Korean military suggested the drone was being used as part of a spying mission, Reuters reported.
