[An Nahar] South Korea's defense ministry said Wednesday that a suspected crashed drone spotted by a walker was a false alarm -- it was actually the door of a portable toilet.A passer-by had reported seeing what he thought was the wreckage of a drone caught among rocks and trees in a fenced off military area, while walking on a hillside in southern Seoul.
But an investigation team sent to the area found that the object was actually the broken door of a portable toilet, a defense ministry front man said.x/ess_north_korean_134.jpg' border=0 align='right' />The door was a similar sky blue color to three drones recovered by South Korea in March and April.
"The shape from a distance and the color was probably what created the confusion," the front man told AFP.
Seoul said last week that a joint investigation with US experts had provided "smoking gun" proof that the three recovered drones were flown from North Korea and had been pre-programed to fly over South Korean military installations.
