- On Monday, state-run Korean Central News Agency reported that North Korea conducted a joint live-fire drill Saturday involving long-range artillery, missiles, and drones.
- The drill followed the conclusion of the five-day Freedom Edge trilateral exercise by the United States, South Korea, and Japan in international waters.
- According to KCNA, subunits from five artillery and missile units hit targets with "100 percent" accuracy, while Seoul detected launches traveling approximately 155 miles.
- South Korea's military detected the launches Saturday, and the presidential Office of National Security subsequently convened an emergency meeting to condemn the act as a violation of Security Council resolutions.
- Experts suggest Kim Jong Un aims to increase leverage for potential diplomacy, provided the United States abandons its "hostile policy" toward his country.
