Russia said South Korea should refrain from “further provocations” in response to North Korea’s accusation that Seoul had sent unmanned drones across the border. The warning came as Moscow geared up to ratify a treaty on a strategic partnership with Pyongyang.
North Korea said on Friday that the South had sent unmanned drones over Pyongyang three times this month. South Korea denied the claim.
“The South Korean authorities should take Pyongyang’s warnings very seriously and cease further escalation on the peninsula through their reckless and provocative campaign, which exacerbates tension and could lead to actual armed confrontations,” Maria Zakharova, Russia’s foreign ministry spokesperson, said in a statement Monday.

The Russian statement came after media reports that Putin submitted a bill to the State Duma to ratify a treaty on a strategic partnership with North Korea.
Putin submitted the bill to the lower house of parliament on Monday to ratify the treaty on a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, which was sealed in June, Russia’s state-run Sputnik news agency reported.
The treaty was signed by Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on June 19 in Pyongyang after their summit talks during the Russian President’s state visit.
The new partnership includes a mutual defense assistance clause that would apply in the case of “aggression” against one of the signatories.
