A recent incident involving a man flying a drone into North Korea from China has captivated global attention.
Social media users also were left stunned after the man revealed photos from inside the secretive nation, providing a rare look into North Korea, a world that is usually hidden from the outside world.
Man reveals photos from inside North Korea by flying drone into the country
North Korea is widely known for its isolated nature and tight control over information flow, making it challenging for outsiders to gain insight into the country.
However, this daring drone flight provided a unique opportunity to witness life within its borders.
The photos captured by the drone show captivating aspects of North Korean society.
Among them, one notable photograph shows the outside of a building decorated with portraits of North Korean founder Kim Il-sung and his son, Kim Jong-il.
Furthermore, the absence of vehicles and pedestrians on the streets is striking, prompting observers to comment on the apparent lack of street drainage and traffic lights.
It is unclear when the photos were taken, but the streets show no cars or people. Some pictures show people pointing at the drone, while others display the city's skyline.
Some even described the scene as resembling a concrete model of a city.
Users' reactions and the potential consequences of flying a drone into a nation without permission were pointed out.
The Reddit user who shared the photos quickly gained attention, with the post garnering over 130,000 upvotes and sparking numerous discussions among online users.
While many were impressed by the photos and intrigued by the uncanny resemblance to an actual city, there were concerns about the individual's safety and the potential consequences of such an act.
Many users pointed out the risks involved in flying an unknown drone into a highly controlled and secretive nation like North Korea.
They explained how serious the situation was and advised being careful, warning that the person who did this could get into big trouble.
Some even humorously compared the audacity of the act to a one-person invasion of North Korea.
Additionally, the photos being easily shared online surprised many people.
They wondered how an ordinary person with a drone bought from a store could capture such pictures.
Therefore, this led to speculations about the abilities of intelligence agencies and their possible use of unconventional approaches.
I wonder what kind of Battery that Drone has?! One user asked.
The second user explained how serious it is if someone tries to access North Korea without permission, saying, I don't think a lot of people realize how serious this is. Didn't the N. Koreans sentence an American boy to 15 years because he tried to keep a poster for a souvenir? They returned him in a coma.
Then the North Korean government, had the cheek to complain about the Bond film which begins with him being tortured in North Korea. I'm sure their prisons are a lot worse than the one portrayed in the film.
He really shouldn’t have done that. He could find himself in some trouble, another wrote.
I thought it was GTA 5, someone described North Korea's cities look like a game.
