The large-scale war drills staged
by the world's biggest nuclear weapons
state ... in the Korean Peninsula, where
a nuclear war may be ignited even with
a spark, can never be called 'defensive.', Korean Central News Agency, via 'Newsweek'.
North Korea's long-range artillery display
is meant to reinforce perception of the
nation's formidable military capabilities. .
The North Korean provocations that
Kim Jong Un enjoys the most, and the
South Korean military is most nervous
about, are ballistic-missile and long-
range-multiple-rocket-launcher fire. , Kim Minseok, research fellow at the
Korea Defense and Security Forum, via 'Newsweek'.
However, North Korea used 122 mm,
130 mm, 155 mm, [and] 220 mm field
artillery and multiple rocket launchers
in this drill—no large 400-plus mm
multiple rocket launchers and
short-range ballistic missiles. , Kim Minseok, research fellow at the
Korea Defense and Security Forum, via 'Newsweek'.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff are closely
monitoring North Korea's military activity amid
the ongoing Freedom Shield joint military exercises.
Reuters reports that this year's exercises
involve twice the number of troops
than previous iterations.
North Korea's artillery fire drills are
demonstrations to show off their
numbers, not tactical exercises.
Firing hundreds of field artillery
pieces at once in a dense area
only measures that they were fired. , Kim Minseok, research fellow at the
Korea Defense and Security Forum, via 'Newsweek'.
Modern artillery combat is more
about firing accurately from
a dispersed position, like the
'shoot and scoot' artillery tactic. , Kim Minseok, research fellow at the

Maldives will not renew an agreement with India to conduct hydrographic surveys and plans to acquire the facilities and machines required to do the exercise by itself, President Mohamed Muizzu has announced. Mr Muizzu also announced that his country is working to establish a 24X7 monitoring system for the Maldivian waters this month to ensure control of its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) despite its significantly large area. The development comes days after China signed a defence cooperation agreement with the Maldives to provide free military assistance to foster "stronger" bilateral ties.
