북한, 트럼프 축소 지시엔 무반응…“침략전쟁 연습, 새로운 힘으로 대응”

North Korea remained unresponsive to a directive from President Donald Trump to reduce the scale of joint US-ROK military exercises, known as the "Ulsan Freedom Shield." The exercises were shortened following Trump's order, but North Korea showed no reaction. The report criticized the exercises as a display of threatening military actions and highlighted the evolving capabilities of the US-led military alliance.

It emphasized that the exercises were becoming more advanced and were aimed at gaining an advantage in the Korean Peninsula's security environment. The report also noted the increasing involvement of the UN Command, particularly in providing support in new domains such as information, cyber, and space. This shift was seen as the UN Command taking a more active role in potential joint military operations in the region.

The report concluded that this was a significant development, indicating that the Korean Peninsula had transformed into a battleground for multinational military forces and a testing ground for modern warfare simulations.
