SEOUL, June 9 (Xinhua) -- A flying object believed to be a drone of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) was found in a mountainous area near the eastern inter-Korean border, South Korea's military said Friday.
The object, which was found at the hill in Inje, Gangwon province, was similar in size and shape to a DPRK drone that was seen in March 2014 at Baenyeong Island near the western border, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).
The JCS said in a statement that a detailed analysis would be conducted by relevant agencies.
The suspected DPRK drone was first detected Thursday by a resident and reported earlier in the day, according to local media reports.
The object was 1.8 meters long and 2.4 meters wide. It was equipped with the estimated surveillance camera.
