Seoul Warns Pyongyang Will See Its End If It Harms South Korean People

 South Korea warned North Korea on Sunday that it will see "the end of its regime" if it causes any harm to its people, after the North threatened a "horrible disaster" over the alleged flight of drones over its capital.

The South's defense ministry issued the statement after Kim Yo-jong, the powerful sister of the North's leader Kim Jong-un, made the threat in a commentary carried by its state media, just a day after the reclusive state claimed the South had sent unmanned drones over Pyongyang three times this month, Yonhap News agency reported.

"We clearly warn that if North Korea inflicts harm on the safety of our people, that day will be the end of the North Korean regime," the defense ministry said in a statement released to reporters.
