One drone was detected as far south as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-asia-64094143\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">northern edge<\/a> of South Korea\u2019s capital Seoul, South Korea\u2019s Joint Chiefs of Staff said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The South Korean military fired warning shots and scrambled fighter jets and attack helicopters after detecting the North Korean drones. The helicopters fired more than 100 rounds at the drones, but officials did not immediately know if any drones were shot down, the AP reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During the South Korean response, a KA-1 attack plane crashed shortly after taking off, but both pilots ejected from the plane safely. South Korea\u2019s Defense Ministry said there were no reports of damage to civilian property after the incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Two South Korean airports delayed any planes from taking off for nearly an hour as South Korea\u2019s military responded to the North\u2019s drone incursion. According to the Joint Chiefs, South Korea also responded by sending its own surveillance planes into North Korea to photograph North Korean military facilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur military will thoroughly and resolutely respond to this kind of North Korean provocation,\u201d Maj. Gen. Lee Seung-o, director of operations at the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff, said after the incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The latest provocation from North Korea comes nearly three months after the totalitarian country <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/u-s-and-south-korea-use-militaries-to-respond-to-north-korea-firing-missile-over-japan-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fired<\/a> a ballistic missile over Japan. The intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) forced Japan to issue a warning for residents to take cover.
