DPRK discovers remains of crashed ROK drone in a civilian neighborhood of Pyongyang
Truth about ROK's Serious Provocation of Violating DPRK's Sovereignty Uncovered: Spokesman for DPRK Ministry of National Defence
Pyongyang, October 19 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK said on Oct. 18 that the ROK military gangsters' involvement in the serious provocation of violating the DPRK's sovereignty was clearly proved through the discovery of decisive material evidence and an objective and scientific investigation into it.
According to the spokesman, the Pyongyang Municipal Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security of the DPRK on October 13 discovered the remains of a crashed drone in the area of the neighborhood No. 76, Sopho-dong No. 1, Hyongjesan District while intensively searching the districts of Pyongyang Municipality.
A joint investigation group of the Ministry of National Defence, the Ministry of State Security and other relevant specialized institutions was organized to forensically examine the remains of the drone.
As a result, it was scientifically proved that the drone came from the ROK.
Through the technical examination and analysis, the experts judged that the drone was a "light one for long-range reconnaissance" equipped with by the "Drone Operation Command" of the ROK military and that it is the type same as the vehicle-carried one opened to public at an event marking the "ROK Army Day."
From the remaining battery power and fuel of the drone, they inferred that the drone might have been used at least five to seven days ago.
In light of the drone's shape, the presumptive period of flight, the leaflet-scattering box fixed to the underpart of the drone's fuselage, etc., it is quite likely that the drone is the one which scattered leaflets over the center of Pyongyang Municipality. But the conclusion has not yet been drawn.
If the drone's involvement in the recent leaflet-scattering incident is denied, it will be evidence of another wanton violation of the airspace of our country by a military means of the ROK and it will be taken more seriously as an example of a series of provocations by the military gangsters of the hostile country.
Despite the shameless excuses made by the ROK military, the objective evidence and scientific analysis go to clearly prove the ROK committed a hostile provocation of violating the DPRK's sovereignty.
Explicitly speaking again, the DPRK is not interested in the chief culprit and perpetrators of the drone provocation but focus on the fact that the criminals, whether they are military gangsters or scum of out-of-border fugitives' organization, all belong to the clan of the hostile country.
The Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK and the General Staff of the Korean People's Army gave all units in the capital city and near the border instructions to reinforce anti-air observation posts.
The General Staff decided to keep the combined artillery units and the units with important fire duties near the border in full combat readiness, and this decision has been approved.
A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK warned that if a violation of the DPRK's territorial ground, air and waters by ROK's military means is discovered and confirmed again, it will be regarded as a grave military provocation against the sovereignty of the DPRK and a declaration of war and an immediate retaliatory attack will be launched. -0-

This is another article that KCNA published at the same time about a discovered balloon carrying ROK propaganda.
Spokesman for DPRK Ministry of Public Security Releases Statement
Pyongyang, October 18 (KCNA) -- On Friday morning, rubbish scattered by a large balloon sent by the ROK scum was found again in Hwaam-ri and Munbong-ri of Phyonggang County in Kangwon Province and in Ryonghak-ri of Cholwon County of the province near the southern border of the DPRK.
The security organs in those areas blockaded and searched the areas and forensically examined and disposed of the collected rubbish.

I like to imagine these are two totally different operations. Like one agency is sweating when they hear the DPRK found a crashed spy vehicle and is relived it was not theirs, and then someone barges in with news of another one being found.
I think this is probably true to be honest. The crashed drone is mostly likely to be ROK government operated, but I have read articles about ROK civilians releasing the balloons. It's possible that the balloon was released by some liberal civilian organization from the South.
I decided to post the 2 articles together because they are similar enough and were released at the same time. The crashed drone seems like a bigger story.
I wonder what that propaganda actually says? I can't imagine most in the south have a good grasp on how politics work in the north, so is it just stuff like "Kim Jong Un isn't a living god! He does poop! Don't believe his lies!"
There are some more photos of leaflets recovered by DPRK here. The text is somewhat visible but I can't read Korean.

This link below is an anticommunism political group that releases propaganda balloons from the south. On their website they have photos of balloons that they have released.

Remember the weather balloon from China that drifted over the US at like 55,000 feet? The same people willing to
over that are now about to tell you how this is actually not a problem and is in fact cool.DPRK warned that if a violation of the DPRK's territorial ground, air and waters by ROK's military means is discovered and confirmed again, it will be regarded as a grave military provocation against the sovereignty of the DPRK and a declaration of war and an immediate retaliatory attack will be launched
More blood of the proletariat, please. The 2020s for you
please retract this liberal ass fucking statement
the dprk is well within their right to do whatever they deem necessary to defend themselves against the american military base known to libs as 'south korea'
uncritical support to DPRK in its struggle to liberate itself from AmeriKKKa and the occupied entity to its south
Are you implying that the DPRK defending their territory against long term imperialist provocation would somehow be them choosing to sacrifice blood of the proletariat as opposed to the proletariat rising up to defend themselves from the imperialists aggression?
It is just a shame that we have to see more death in this decade. I am not shunning the North Korean government, this is clearly in response to provocation.
