North Korea's Military Actions and Satellite Launches: A Closer Look
TL;DR
North Korea has announced that it will no longer be bound by a 2018 joint military agreement with South Korea after Seoul suspended parts of the deal in response to Pyongyang's launch of a military spy satellite. North Korea stated that it will move more troops and military equipment to the border and restore all military measures that were halted under the agreement. South Korea has withdrawn from parts of the deal and resumed surveillance operations on its northern border. The satellite launch has raised tensions and risks of miscalculation and conflict escalation on the Korean Peninsula.
