Drones that crashed in South Korea 'came from North Korea'
A South Korean military inquiry into two drones found on a border island has concluded that North Korea flew the unmanned aircraft to conduct reconnaissance missions, a South Korean media report said on Wednesday.

The discovery of the surveillance aircraft came less than an hour after a three-hour artillery barrage between South and North Korea in each side's territorial waters near a disputed maritime border on Monday.
North Korea fired more than 100 artillery rounds into South Korean waters as part of a drill on Monday, prompting the South to fire back. The exercise appeared to be more sabre-rattling by Pyongyang rather than the start of a military standoff.
Yonhap News Agency reported on Wednesday that the drones' flight route appeared to be from the North, citing unidentified South Korean government officials. South Korea's defence ministry declined to comment on the report.
Images of the crashed drones showed the wreckage of small, light-blue aircraft bearing similar paintwork and markings to North Korean drones displayed in a Pyongyang parade last year.

Is this possibly a test run by North Korea to see if they can actually target and hit a defined target with the drone technology they have on hand?
It looks like one of those model planes we made as kids back in the '50s.
