S.Korea officials: Suspected N.Korea drone spied on US anti-missile system

SEOUL - A suspected North Korean drone had taken photographs of an advanced US anti-missile battery in South Korea before it crashed on its way home, the South Korean military said on Tuesday.

 

The drone, mounted with a camera, was found last week in a forest near the border with North Korea. It was similar in size and shape to a North Korean drone found in 2014 on an island near the border.

 

"We confirmed that it took about 10 photos," of the anti-missile system, known as the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), a South Korean Defense Ministry official said by telephone.

 

The drone was suspected to be from North Korea, the official added.
