Pyongyang, February 13 (Xinhua) — Pyongyang called on the authorities of the Republic of Korea (ROK) to take measures to prevent attacks on North Korean sovereignty, in particular such as the UAV intrusion incident earlier this year, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Friday.

In a press statement released Thursday, Kim Yo Jong, deputy department director of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) Central Committee, said that South Korean Unification Minister Jeong Dong Yeon officially expressed regret on Tuesday over the drone intrusion into North Korean airspace earlier this year.

"The South Korean authorities should not try to circumvent the crisis they caused by merely expressing regret, but should take guaranteed measures to consistently prevent the recurrence of serious violations of sovereignty, such as the intrusion into our republic's airspace," Kim Yo-jong said.

“A repetition of such a provocation as a violation of the DPRK’s inalienable sovereignty will undoubtedly provoke a harsh response,” she warned. –0–

GUANGZHOU, Feb. 13 (Xinhua) — Uber and Chinese smart mobility tech company WeRide on Thursday announced the launch of the first commercial Robotaxi service in downtown Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

With the support of the Abu Dhabi Integrated Transport Centre (ITC), WeRide and Uber Robotaxi services now cover approximately 70 percent of Abu Dhabi's major districts.

Passengers traveling within designated zones can book a self-driving taxi through Uber Comfort or UberX, or directly through the dedicated "Autonomous" category in the Uber app. Currently, each vehicle has one safety officer on board, but a gradual transition to fully autonomous driving is planned for the future.

Expanding Robotaxi's range of operational services will further improve the connectivity and convenience of Abu Dhabi's urban transportation network and help the UAE realize its vision of "smart mobility."

This development also highlights the accelerated expansion of WeRide and Uber's presence in the UAE. According to a cooperation roadmap agreed upon in February 2026, both companies plan to increase their robotaxi fleet in the Middle East to at least 1,200 vehicles by 2027, with their operations spanning major cities such as Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Riyadh.

Founded in 2017, WeRide is a Chinese technology company that has been researching, testing, and operating autonomous driving systems in over 40 cities across 11 countries. It develops safe and reliable autonomous driving technologies, focusing on robotaxis, autonomous minibuses (Robobus), and advanced driver assistance systems, covering a variety of application scenarios, including freight transportation and environmental sanitation.
