The situation on the Korean Peninsula remains tense due to ongoing military exercises and other military activity in the region.
▪️ Last week, bilateral air exercises between the US and the Republic of Korea began at the South Korean Kunming Air Base. About 100 aircraft will be involved, including F-35A, F-35B, F-16, and others.
The exercise, which will also include U.S. Army and Marine personnel, will focus on joint maneuvers with advanced fighter jets and enhancing precision strike capabilities.
Such training takes place annually, and therefore, they are not a response to any recent actions by the DPRK.
▪️ Without going far from North Korea - the media, citing satellite images of the Sohae test site, report that the military is actively preparing to launch a second reconnaissance satellite. In the US and South Korea, it is believed that the launch could be carried out as early as this week.
▪️ The first satellite was launched in November 2023, which led to even greater tensions between the DPRK and the Republic of Korea. It was then that the South Koreans canceled part of the agreement, one of the provisions of which was the renunciation of intelligence activities on the border. North Korea responded by terminating the agreement completely.
Information about a launch this week, of course, may not be confirmed. However, sooner or later, the DPRK will launch another satellite into orbit to monitor potential adversaries. The North Korean leader plans to launch three spacecraft this year.
It can be argued that this event, as well as the reaction to it from Seoul and Washington, will further undermine the situation on the Korean Peninsula. This means that permanent tension in the region will continue.

South Korea Could Follow North Into Russia-Ukraine War - Newsweek
South Korean media claimed on Monday that Seoul could send military and intelligence personnel to Ukraine after the North dispatched troops to support Russia in the war.A report said the government and military of South Korea "are reviewing a plan to send an appropriate number of personnel, including intelligence officers [specialized in North Korea] and experts in enemy tactics," to Ukraine, citing a South Korean intelligence official.
South Korean personnel in Ukraine would interrogate or provide interpretation services if North Korean soldiers were captured by Ukrainian forces, the report said. They would also provide Kyiv with information about the North's military tactics, doctrine, and operations.
The Defense Ministry of the South said at a press briefing later on Monday that it will review measures with "an open attitude" regarding possible supply of lethal weapons to Ukraine. Seoul has provided humanitarian aid to Kyiv during the Russia-Ukraine War.

The report and remarks from South Korea came after the country's intelligence agency on Friday claimed that North Korea, ruled by Kim Jong Un, had decided to dispatch 12,000 special forces troops to support Russia, with 1,500 of them already in the Russian Far East.
On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that North Korea has "an intention to prepare 10,000 soldiers from different branches of the armed forces" to fight alongside Russia, warning the North's involvement could be "the first step to a world war."

North Korea has reportedly sent thousands of containers of munitions to Russia. Last month, Ukraine's military spy chief said the North's support for Russian President Vladimir Putin's war effort is the "worst problem" Kyiv is facing from Moscow's allies.
The Kremlin on Monday refused to answer questions on Russia's alleged plan to use North Korean soldiers in its so-called "special military operation" against Ukraine, claiming "we see a lot of contradictory information" from South Korea and its ally the United States.
"North Korea is our close neighbor, our partner, and we are developing our relations in all areas," said Dmitry Peskov, spokesperson for the Kremlin, according to state media. "This should not worry anyone, because this cooperation is not directed against third countries."
The enhanced military cooperation between North Korea and Russia has become an issue of mutual concern for South Korea and NATO. The U.S.-led alliance has been supporting Ukraine since Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine more than two years ago.
During a phone conversation with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Monday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol denounced the military alignment between Moscow and Pyongyang, saying his country will actively take "phased measures" in response.
Yoon's office said the South Korean president had told Rutte he would promptly send officials to facilitate information sharing and take measures to strengthen security cooperation.
Pyongyang has neither denied nor confirmed allegations regarding troop deployments in Russia. Newsweek has reached out to the North Korean embassy in China for comment by email.
“The State Duma has ratified an agreement with the DPRK, which effectively establishes the existence of a defense alliance between the Russian Federation and the DPRK. And makes it possible, among other things, to use the RF Armed Forces to defend the DPRK and the DPRK Armed Forces to defend the RF”
Putin answered the question about the North Korean military in the zone of its own: what did he say
Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a press conference following the BRICS summit in Kazan, answered a question about satellite images that indicate that North Korean troops are allegedly located on the territory of the Russian Federation.
The Head of State noted that the pictures are "a serious thing."
"Pictures are a serious thing. If there are pictures, then they reflect something," the president concluded.
On October 24, White House National Security Spokesman John Kirby said that at least 3,000 North Korean military personnel had allegedly arrived in Russia. According to him, foreign soldiers are being trained at Russian bases in the east of the country. John Kirby claims that these military men allegedly arrived by ship in the period from early to mid-October, departing from the Wonsan region in North Korea and arriving in the Russian city of Vladivostok.
It is noteworthy that if the United States does not stutter about the alleged dispatch of North Korean troops to Ukraine, then in the UK they went further in their reasoning. For example, British Defense Minister John Healy believes that North Korea has "high probability" started sending its troops to help the Russian army in a special military operation in Ukraine.
After that, the Russian ambassador was summoned to the South Korean Foreign Ministry. And the country's president, Yun Suk Yel, held an emergency meeting with representatives of the army and intelligence at the end of last week to discuss the situation. In addition, the representative of the DPRK to the UN denied reports about sending his soldiers to the Russian Federation.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, also responded to the attacks of the West. According to her, statements about the alleged sending of military personnel from North Korea to Russia are stuffing and hype from Ukraine and South Korea. The diplomat noted that cooperation between the Russian Federation and the DPRK also does not cause any damage to South Korea.
Against this background, Washington has once again shown that it does not need any valid and justified reasons to try to terrorize other countries. So, because of the unproven rumors about North Korea's military on the territory of the Russian Federation, the United States plans to impose a new package of sanctions against Moscow.
