On 27 Aug 2025, North Korea sharply criticized South Korea’s President Lee. They called him a 'confrontation maniac' for supporting joint military drills with the US. These drills, named 'Ulchi Freedom Shield 25,' started recently in South Korea. North Korea sees these exercises as a threat and says they increase tension on the Korean Peninsula. Earlier, North Korea tested two new missiles designed to target aerial threats. Their leader, Kim Jong Un, warned that the drills could ignite war and urged faster nuclear development. The situation remains tense between the two Koreas. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 11:37 IST; source: link)
