North Korea's Kim Yo Jong says joint US-South Korea drills to harm regional stability

Kim Yo Jong warned the joint U.S.-South Korea military drills threaten regional peace and vowed to strengthen North Korea's war deterrent amid a global security collapse.

  • On Tuesday, Kim Yo Jong criticized the United States and South Korea for proceeding with their annual Freedom Shield exercises, warning of 'terrible consequences' after the drills began.
  • Kim argued the drills weaken regional stability amid a collapsing global security structure, linking them to wider conflicts and deeper ties with Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran.
  • The allies' largely computer‑simulated Freedom Shield tests joint operations, accompanied by Warrior Shield, and is described as defensive by the U.S. and South Korea.
  • Pyongyang historically uses allied drills as a pretext for stepped-up demonstrations, and North Korea said it will bolster its 'destructive power' amid expansion of its nuclear and weapons programs.
  • Images from Paju on February 26, 2026 show a North Korean military guard post and a South Korean post near the border, highlighting frontline tensions.
