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

Modern artillery combat is more
about firing accurately from
a dispersed position, like the

Russia Vetoes UN Resolution , to Prevent Nukes in Space.
The resolution was sponsored
by Japan and the United States.
It called on all nations to refrain from developing or deploying nuclear weapons "or other weapons of mass destruction in space," 'The Guardian' reports. .
A 1967 international treaty
already bans such weapons in space.
Russia’s U.N. Ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia,
vetoed the resolution, calling it "absolutely absurd and politicized," as well as a "dirty spectacle.".
China abstained from voting, while the rest of the 15-member council voted in favor of the resolution. .
Today’s veto begs the question:
Why? Why, if you are following the
rules, would you not support a
resolution that reaffirms them?
What could you possibly be hiding, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., via 'The Guardian'.
Russia and China would rather establish an
amendment calling on all nations "to prevent for
all time the placement of weapons in outer space, and the threat of use of force in outer spaces.".
We want a ban on the placement of
weapons of any kind in outer space, not
just WMDs [weapons of mass destruction].
But you don’t want that. And let me ask
you that very same question. Why?, Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s U.N. ambassador, via 'The Guardian'.
Nebenzia went on to say, "if we recall that the U.S. and their allies announced some time ago plans to place weapons … in outer space.".
The U.S.-Japan resolution was announced in March after it was determined that Russia was in possession of "a 'troubling' anti-satellite weapon capability," 'The Guardian' reports.
However, earlier this year, Putin said, , "Our position is clear and transparent: We have always been categorically against and are now against the deployment of nuclear weapons in space."

A Russian missile strike has claimed the lives of at least four individuals in the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa, targeting a Gothic-style building known locally as the "Harry Potter Castle''. Even as night fell, the distinctive turrets of the structure continued to burn, with emergency services assessing the blaze as severe. Reports indicate that residents were caught off guard, as air raid alerts sounded only minutes before the strike, leaving them with insufficient time to seek shelter.
