South Korea Halts Military Pact with North Korea Over Balloon Dispute

South Korea has decided to fully suspend a 2018 military agreement with North Korea after Pyongyang sent hundreds of trash-filled balloons across the border. The move, pending cabinet approval, follows a partial suspension last year and aims to improve South Korea's military readiness amid ongoing provocations from the North. The decision highlights deteriorating relations and could further escalate tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
