US, South Korean militaries wrapping up drills early, a day after North Korea's missile barrage
The U.S. and South Korean militaries concluded their annual drills early in a gesture toward North Korea, but Kim Yo Jong dismissed the effort, maintaining that the provocative nature of the exercises would not change. Following this diplomatic move, North Korea fired about 10 short-range ballistic missiles towards the sea, viewing the drills as an invasion rehearsal. The incident occurred amid efforts by North Korea to increase its leverage through missile modernization and alignment with Russia.
