North Korea's Foreign Ministry claimed the South orchestrated the flights, which it said dropped anti-North Korean pamphlets.
North Korea has accused South Korea of sending drones across the border to fly over the North's capital, Pyongyang , describing the move as a political and military provocation that requires retaliatory action.
It said its forces will prepare "all means of attack" and respond without warning if South Korean drones are detected in its territory again, while urging Seoul to stop the flights. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said it could not confirm the North's accusations, but also referred in its statement to Pyongyang's practice of sending into South Korean airspace balloons with bags of rubbish attached.
