'Provocation': Seoul says North Korean drills along disputed sea border violate military agreement
North Korea fired artillery rounds near its disputed sea boundary with South Korea in violation of a fragile 2018 military agreement, prompting the South to plan similar drills.
In a devastating incident on Monday, a fire broke out at a lithium battery factory in Hwaseong, South Korea, resulting in the deaths of 22 workers. The blaze, triggered by multiple battery explosions, primarily claimed the lives of Chinese nationals, fire officials reported.

The Russia-North Korea defense pact signals a significant shift in global power dynamics, challenging stability in East Asia. This alliance complicates U.S. efforts to isolate North Korea and may accelerate Pyongyang's military capabilities. China faces a dilemma, potentially losing influence over North Korea to Russia. The pact's ambiguity raises concerns about miscalculation. International responses must balance firm resolve with openness to dialogue, prioritizing diplomacy to address root causes of tension while maintaining commitment to denuclearization and UN resolutions.
