North Korea's Kim Yo-jong, the sister of the regime's leader, Kim Jong-un, has responded positively to South Korea's recent pledge to prevent drone incursions into the North.
According to the North's Korean Central News Agency on Thursday, Kim Yo-jong said that she "highly evaluates" the South's Unification Minister Chung Dong-young.
She also acknowledged that drone provocations took place under the previous administration.
Chung also announced measures to prevent a recurrence, by strengthening punishment for illegal infiltrations, and restoring parts of the 2018 inter-Korean agreement, including the enforcement of no-fly zones.
However, Kim Yo-jong added that Pyongyang will also take steps to strengthen vigilance along the Military Demarcation Line area.
