SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean officials said Wednesday they suspect that two unmanned drones that crashed recently near the border with rival North Korea were flown by the North on possible surveillance missions.

A drone crashed on frontline Baengnyeong island Monday when the two Koreas fired hundreds of artillery shells into each other's waters in a flare-up of animosity over a long-disputed sea boundary between the countries. On March 24, another drone crashed in Paju, a South Korean city near the land border with the North.

South Korean officials suspect the drones were from North Korea because Korean-language letters on their batteries are written in North Korean style, Kwon said.

Kwon said the drones took pictures of Seoul, Paju and other areas near the land border, but refused to say which specific sites were taken.

South Korean media reports, citing unidentified military officials, reported that the drones were taking pictures of military facilities on Baengnyeong island, the South Korean presidential office and a highway linking border areas to Seoul.

Here is an additional report from one hour ago that says the "toy" drone took 190 photos of the Presidential office in Seoul. The video is the entire news cast, but I have it starting at the drone report. Just exit when that segment is over if you're interested.
