On June 3, Seoul announced the suspension of a military deal with North Korea due to provocations involving trash-filled balloons. The 2018 agreement aimed to reduce tensions but was deemed ineffective after North Korea’s satellite launch. The suspension allows South Korea to train closer to the border and better address threats, with an official decision pending a future cabinet meeting.
