North Korea scraps military deal with South Korea
North Korea has officially announced its decision to abandon the 2018 inter-Korean agreement aimed at reducing tensions and resume all military activities that were previously halted under the deal.

This announcement comes in response to South Korea's recent suspension of certain aspects of the agreement.
In a statement issued by its defense ministry, North Korea declared its intent to no longer be bound by the September 19 North-South Military Agreement. This significant move was published by the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
The escalation follows North Korea's successful launch of a surveillance satellite into space on Tuesday, marking its third attempt this year. In response to this satellite launch, Seoul took measures to "partially" suspend the 2018 inter-Korean agreement.
Under the leadership of President Yoon Suk Yeol, South Korea has allowed its military to reinstate surveillance activities along the inter-Korean border. The 2018 agreement established buffer zones along both land and sea boundaries, along with no-fly zones above the border region.
