North Korea issued a military threat against these countries in response to the trilateral military exercises of the US, Japan and South Korea in the region. The official North Korean news agency (KCNA) announced that Pyongyang is ready to take military action with US strategic bombers against these gatherings if these activities continue.
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: This position was raised following the holding of joint air exercises in the Korean Peninsula region, in which, for the first time in 2025, the US B-52H strategic bomber was present in the exercise. South Korean F-16 and Japanese F-2 fighter jets also participated in the operation.
Military officials from South Korea, the US and Japan, at the same time as the exercise began, called for an end to North Korea's "illegal" activities and questionable threatening actions. At a trilateral meeting in Seoul, they discussed the possibility of North Korea's military support for Russia in the Ukraine war and the transfer of Russian military technology to Pyongyang.
The three countries' joint statement emphasized continued regional cooperation to counter North Korea's military threats.
