South Korea's military scrambled fighter jets and attack helicopters on Monday after five North Korean drones crossed into its airspace, with one aircraft crashing, according to the country's defense ministry.
The ministry said South Korea's military fired shots at the drones, which measured under 2 meters (6.5 feet) long. Four drones flew around Ganghwa island and one flew over capital Seoul's northern airspace, according to South Korean defense official Lee Seung-oh.
