Seoul says warning shots fired after N. Korea drone incursion
13 Sept 04:46Key points summarised by AI
North Korean drones violated South Korean airspace, prompting Seoul's military to deploy warplanes and fire warning shots to repel them.
The incursion led to temporary flight suspensions at major international airports and resulted in a South Korean KA-1 light attack aircraft crashing during operations.
This incident marks the first time in five years North Korean drones have entered South Korean airspace, raising significant security concerns amid Pyongyang's recent surge in weapons tests and suspected reconnaissance activities.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Today 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
