US🇺🇲 DPRK🇰🇵 ROK🇰🇷 | 2024

After a brief lull, the DPRK has resumed human

balloon launches toward South Korea.

 
South Korea announced that it will start broadcasting loudspeaker messages at the border on Sunday in response to Pyongyang resuming the launch of balloons carrying trash, according to a statement from the South's National Security Council.

In the past, South Korea utilized these broadcasts as psychological warfare tactics, targeting #DPRK residents with anti-DPRK messages, K-pop music, and narratives extolling South Korea's alleged democratic and economic systems.

Seoul ceased these broadcasts in 2018 during a phase of renewed diplomacy between the two but reinstalled the loudspeakers this week.

The decision to reactivate the loudspeakers comes a day after South Korea said the DPRK sent around 330 balloons filled with waste paper, plastic, and other trash across the border, marking the third such launch in less than two weeks.
 

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un hailed the country’s expanding relationship with Russia on Wednesday, as reports suggest that Russian President Vladimir Putin will soon visit the country for his third meeting with Kim.
Military, economic and other cooperation between North Korea and Russia have sharply increased since Kim visited Russia last September for a meeting with Putin. The U.S., South Korea and their partners believe North Korea has supplied artillery, missiles and other conventional weapons to Russia to support its war in Ukraine in return for advanced military technologies and economic aid.
 

Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit North Korea this week, June 18-19, for the first time in 24 years, the two countries say, a rare trip that underscores Moscow’s burgeoning partnership with the nuclear-armed state.Putin last visited Pyongyang in July 2000, four months after he was first elected president. He met with Kim’s father, Kim Jong Il, who ruled the country then.
Moscow has said it “highly appreciates” Pyongyang’s support for Russia’s military action in Ukraine and mentioned its “close and fruitful cooperation” at the United Nations and other international organisations. There are growing concerns about an arms arrangement in which Pyongyang provides Moscow with badly needed munitions to fuel Putin’s war in Ukraine in exchange for economic assistance and technology transfers that would enhance the threat posed by Kim’s nuclear weapons and missile programmes.
 

Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved the draft of a strategic partnership treaty with North Korea, which is expected to be signed during his upcoming visit to Pyongyang. The agreement, he added, “will not be confrontational and directed against any countries, but will be aimed at ensuring greater stability in the North-East Asia region.”
The announcement came after Putin said earlier this month that Russia intends to develop relations with North Korea “whether anyone likes it or not.” In an article for the North Korean daily Rodong Sinmun published on Monday, he also said that Moscow and Pyongyang “will develop alternative trade and mutual settlements mechanisms not controlled by the West, jointly oppose illegitimate unilateral restrictions, and shape the architecture of equal and indivisible security in Eurasia.”
