<Anchor> As the

government announced yesterday (11th), two North Korean troops and two rice-spray groups were investigated by the police. Cheong Wa Dae also announced that it would take a thorough crackdown on its own, and critics say that it would punish North Koreans and try to be seen well in North Korea.

Reporter Kim A-young reports.

<Reporter> The

Ministry of Unification commissioned the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency to investigate two North Korean flyers and two rice spraying groups.

There are three applicable laws.

In addition to the violation of export regulations under the Exchange and Cooperation Act, we have added allegations of violation of the Aviation Safety Act and the Public Sleep Act.

What brought out the Aviation Safety Law is to stop ballooning and drones for North Korea's fleet, and the application of the Public Sleep Act means to consider rice plastic bottles as sea trash.

Until a few days ago, it was difficult to regulate with the Exchange Cooperation Act, and when the government pointed out that it was going to come and go, it was said that it would investigate all other violations of the applicable law.

The Blue House held an NSC standing committee and made it clear that it would illegally regulate the North Korean fleet and crack down on it thoroughly.

[Kim Yoo-Geun/Director of the National Security Council (NSC): I express my deep regret for continuing to spray the North Korean flyers and goods. We will continue to crack down on the spreading act and continue to comply with all agreements between the two Koreas.] A

key official from the Blue House explained the nature of the announcement as a message to North Korea.

It seems that it was more urgent to appease North Korea to stop deteriorating the situation, such as the destruction of inter-Korean agreements, despite criticism and controversy of the low-key opposition to North Korea.

In fact, yesterday, the NSC meeting was unusually attended by the Ministry of Public Affairs and Maritime Affairs, which symbolizes a strong response to the mobilization of related ministries such as police mobilization and maritime enforcement.
