North Korea vows strong response to aggression
North Korea condemns the joint military exercises conducted by the United States and South Korea under the name "Freedom Shield Ulji," starting August 17, 2026. It considers these drills as preparations for an aggressive war. The exercises involve tens of thousands of troops and military equipment, including simulations of electronic warfare, cyber warfare, and modern combat environments, aiming to prepare for a large-scale military confrontation with Pyongyang. North Korea views these maneuvers as threats to its security and regional stability and has emphasized that it will respond strongly to any external threats. Meanwhile, Washington and Seoul describe the exercises as necessary to maintain defensive cooperation and readiness for security threats. These developments occur amid ongoing tensions over North Korea's development of nuclear submarines and military exercises, which Pyongyang describes as security threats warranting a response.
