South Korea fired warning shots Friday β live ones to repel soldiers and a diplomatic volley to counter Vladimir Putin, after his new pact with Kim Jong Un.
A pact between Russia and North Korea could scramble the balance of power in East Asia and make it even more difficult to halt North Koreaβs nuclear ambitions.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a new pact Wednesday that includes a pledge of mutual defense if either is attacked.
Russian President Vladimir Putin was expected to arrive in North Korea on Tuesday as he seeks support from leader Kim Jong Un in his war against Ukraine.
