Belarus concentrates forces near border with Poland and Lithuania in military drill

Minsk insists there is no cause for concern, and the Belarusian defence ministry describes the exercises as "purely defensive".

Korea's Army Chief, Gen. Kim Kyu-ha, embarked on a significant three-day visit to Poland, aiming to strengthen military ties and bolster the defense industry cooperation between the two nations. The visit, concluded on Tuesday, underscores the evolving relationship between Poland and South Korea, particularly in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

As European countries intensify efforts to modernize their military arsenals, Poland has emerged as Korea's foremost defense partner in Europe, with substantial orders for tanks, howitzers, and light fighter jets. This visit followed a previous trip by Lt. Gen. Marek Sokolowski, the Polish General Command's head, to South Korea's Gyeryongdae military headquarters in March.

The two leaders laid a wreath at the Warsaw's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Monday, before engaging in successive high-level meetings. These discussions yielded significant results, further solidifying the defense cooperation between Poland and South Korea.
