남한 전직 대통령, 북한 드론 송출 혐의로 30년 추가 감옥

A former leader of South Korea received a 30-year prison sentence. The court found him guilty of a serious crime. He sent small flying machines called drones toward North Korea.

Prosecutors told the court about their case. They said the ex-president ordered this action. The goal was to create problems between North and South Korea. Leaders wanted to make people angry at North Korea. This anger would give them a reason to take control.

The drones flew across the border between the two countries. North Korea noticed the drones. This action made the situation worse. The two countries became more tense.

The former president is now in jail. This is his second long prison sentence. His first sentence was also very long. He has been in trouble with the law many times.

Many people in South Korea watched this trial. Some people supported him. Other people said he was wrong. The court decided the case carefully. The judge said the crime was very serious. Sending drones was illegal and dangerous.

This case shows how leaders must follow the law. Even ex-presidents must answer for their actions. South Korea has strong courts. The courts are independent and fair.
