🇰🇷🇰🇵 South Korea will cooperate more with US, Japan if North's threats continue
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol said on Monday trilateral cooperation with the United States and Japan will grow stronger if North Korea's threats increase.
He made the remark at a Cabinet meeting days after he took part in talks with the leaders of the Untied States and Japan where they agreed to deepen military and economic cooperation.
The three-way partnership would develop into a strong framework to promote regional peace along with the AUKUS pact between the US, Britain and Australia, and the Quad grouping of the US, Japan, India and Australia, Yoon said.

#Myanmar (#Burma) 🇲🇲: Junta Forces targeted a village Mone Township in Nyaunglaybin, Bago Region.
Seemingly the attack was carried out with 57mm S-5 pattern rockets.
Judging by the fuze; #NorthKorea (#DPRK)-made 🇰🇵 R-57 rockets with F-57 fuzes might have been used.
Unfortunately, there is no significant reference data available for most North Korean-made rockets...
However, the naming pattern and the characteristics increase the possibility that these were the North Korean copies of S-5 rockets.

🇰🇷🇰🇵 South Korea boosts military surveillance after North claims spy satellite launch
South Korea moved to suspend part of a military agreement it signed with Pyongyang in 2018 after the North launched a spy satellite.
The pact, known as the Comprehensive Military Agreement and aimed at de-escalating tensions between the rivals, was signed at a 2018 summit between former South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
But critics have called for it to be scrapped, saying it weakened Seoul's ability to monitor North Korea's actions around the border, while Pyongyang has flagrantly violated the agreement.

🇰🇷🇰🇵 Military agreement fractures as tensions rise with North Korea
Among the concrete steps stemming from the move, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said South Korea would immediately resume reconnaissance of the North's forces in border areas.
South Korea's national security council said it planned to "suspend the effect of Article 1, Clause 3" of the 2018 military agreement, enabling Seoul to restore reconnaissance and surveillance activities along the border.
Under that clause, both countries agreed to establish no-fly zones close to their border.
