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.

"Niger's Revocation of US Military Pact: Provocation by Russia and Iran?"

Niger has suspended its military agreement with the United States, citing pressure from US officials over its ties with Russia and Iran. The US military operates key bases in Niger for operations in the Sahel region, but the suspension of the pact raises concerns about the US military presence in the region and potential shifts in alliances. The move comes amid growing Russian influence in the Sahel and could leave Niger vulnerable to security challenges, while also impacting the US military's footprint in the region.

North Korea's Military Pact Suspended, Spy Satellite Launch Successful

North Korea has announced the suspension of a 2018 military pact with South Korea and plans to deploy stronger armed forces and new weapons along the border. This comes after South Korea suspended part of the agreement in response to North Korea's launch of a spy satellite. North Korea accused South Korea of scrapping the deal and warned that Seoul would be held accountable if a clash occurs. The suspended pact, known as the Comprehensive Military Agreement, aimed to de-escalate tension between the two countries.

North Korea's Successful Spy Satellite Launch Strengthens Military Capabilities

North Korea has claimed the successful launch of its first spy satellite, defying warnings from the US and its allies. The Malligyong-1 satellite was launched on a Chollima-1 rocket from the Sohae facility, and while it appeared to have entered orbit, it is unclear if it is functioning properly. South Korea has responded by suspending parts of a 2018 military pact with North Korea, aimed at reducing tensions between the two countries. The launch has been condemned by the US, South Korea, and Japan for violating UN Security Council resolutions. South Korea plans to launch its own spy satellite at the end of November.

Philippines Identifies 4 New Strategic Sites for U.S. Military Pact.

The Philippines has identified four more military bases that the United States will have access to under the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA), almost doubling the number included in the defence agreement. The expansion underlines the Philippines' strategic importance to the United States, coming at a time of growing concern over China's conduct in the South China Sea and tension over self-ruled Taiwan. The locations are significant, with Isabela and Cagayan facing north towards Taiwan, while Palawan is near the disputed Spratly Islands in the South China Sea, where China has built artificial islands equipped with runways and missile systems.
