The KNDRA condemned the military exercises of South Korea and the USA, calling them 'provocation' and predestining about the danger of starting a war. This occurred after the South Korean military aircraft mistakenly struck a tree in South Korea. Official sources in Pcheonhan report a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in which it is stated that such actions are considered a serious provocation and may lead to an escalation of the situation on the Korean peninsula, even to the start of a conflict due to a single incident. Joint exercises between Washington and Seoul, called 'Freedom Shield 2025', are to begin on Monday. Their program includes live-fire drills.
