“Pilot-free air networks” violated South Korean airspace in border areas around the province of Gyeonggi, the country's joint staff chiefs said.
According to reports, one of the fears flew to the capital, Seoul, writes the BBC.
The South Korean Army said it had fired warning shots before sending planes and helicopters to crash.
However, trying to bring down the fears had failed so far and was continuing, she added.
The Drons were seen crossing the border around 10:30 local time.
One of South Korean warplanes involved in the operation -- a light KA-1 offensive aircraft -- crashed later, but his two pilots survived intact.
The plane fell to land in Hoengseong County, east of Seoul, shortly after rising from an air base in the nearby town of Wonju, according to the Air Force quoted by Yonhap.
South Korea also suspended aircraft that took off and landed at its Inheon and Gimpo airports for about an hour.
A South Korean military official described the recent Inquisition as a clear act of provocation by genus.
Our military will continue to respond completely and decisively to the provocations of North Korea”, the military added.
The last time a North Korean threat crossed the border was five years ago in June 2017, when tensions between the two Koreas were at their last peak.
Such fears are seen as a threat to South Korea's security, since they can be used to spy on and launch an attack.
