South Korea to loan artillery shells to US.

South Korea has reportedly agreed to lend the United States 500,000 rounds of 155 mm artillery shells, which could give Washington greater flexibility to supply Ukraine with ammunition. The shells will be used primarily by the US to fill its stockpile. South Korea decided to "lend" the ammunition instead of selling it to minimise the possibility of South Korean shells being used in the Ukraine conflict. Both Seoul and Washington have previously confirmed that they were negotiating an artillery supply deal, but there has been no official word on whether any agreement was finalised.
