The warning from North Korea’s foreign ministry came as the US-South Korea ‘Freedom Shield 2025’ drills were set to kick off on Monday.
North Korea on Monday condemned joint U.S.-South Korean military drills as a "provocative act," warning of the danger of sparking war with "an accidental single shot," days after Seoul's air force mistakenly bombed a village on its own territory.
The announcement came amid fears that Pyongyang may be receiving crucial military technology from Russia in return for sending troops and weapons for its war against Ukraine.
