    North Korea on Monday demanded that the United States and South Korea stop large-scale military exercises, calling them a provocation that may draw “more powerful follow-up measures” from Pyongyang.

    “If the US does not want any serious developments not suited to its security interests, it should stop the useless and ineffective war exercises at once. If not, it will have to totally take the blame for all the consequences.”

    North Korea has warned South Korea and the United States that their decision to extend the “Vigilant Storm” joint-military air drills would push tension to “an uncontrollable phase”, South Korean media reported.

    Pyongyang denounced as “very dangerous” the decision by Washington and Seoul on Thursday to extend their air drills in response to North Korea’s launch of ballistic missiles, including a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), earlier
    in the day.

    Earlier on Thursday, North Korea launched three ballistic missiles, including a suspected ICBM. The launch followed Wednesday’s firing of at least 20 missiles, the most in a single day by North Korea, including one that landed off South Korea’s
    coast for the first time. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/11/3/us-s-korea-to-extend-air-drills-after-n-koreas-icbm-launch
