South Korea Seeks Reinstatement Of No-Fly Zone

The move would restore a no-fly zone—15 kilometers in eastern areas and 10 kilometers in western parts—to prevent unintended clashes and rebuild military trust after civilian drone incursions and suspensions in 2023–2024. The government will also strengthen drone penalties.
