South Korean President

North Korean state media released a white paper on Sunday accusing South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol of exposing his country to the danger of nuclear war through his policies toward the North.

Ballistic missile launchers that North Korea has said it plans to deploy on the border with South Korea are believed to have a range of 110 km (68 miles), allowing them to target Chungcheong Province south of Seoul, the Yonhap news agency reported.

North Korea wants to reopen nuclear talks with the United States if Donald Trump is re-elected as president and is working to devise a new negotiating strategy, a senior North Korean diplomat who recently defected to South Korea told Reuters.

Trash-carrying balloons sent by North Korea hit the South Korean presidential compound Wednesday, security officials told AFP, prompting Seoul to mobilise chemical response teams in the escalating tit-for-tat propaganda war.

Laughing and joking, Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un cruised around Pyongyang last week in a Russian-made Aurus limousine to showcase their strengthened anti-Western alliance.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol held a rare press conference Thursday, admitting "shortcomings" after his party's recent electoral defeat, and laying out policies on issues from the country's low birthrate to Russia's war in Ukraine.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said Thursday that he wants to create a new ministry to address the country's low birthrate - the world's lowest, with the country facing a looming demographic crisis.

Leading the country's main opposition party, Mr Lee has since been a staunch critic of President Yoon, and is widely expected to run for the top office again in 2027.

Hours earlier on October 9, 1983, a huge explosion had shattered the peace of the capital city as a Pyongyang hit team detonated bombs to try to assassinate visiting South Korean president Chun Doo-Hwan.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said on Wednesday that if Russia helped North Korea enhance its weapons programs in return for assistance for its war in Ukraine, it would be "a direct provocation".

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's train "appears" to have departed for Russia, possibly for a summit with President Vladimir Putin, multiple South Korean media outlets reported Monday, citing unidentified officials.

U.S. President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol made several pledges in an historic Camp David meeting, including an annual meeting, and issued a sharp rebuke to China:

China and Russia might even find some comfort in seeing the clear differences among the four partners as to their desired level of engagement with NATO.

Activists argue that the country's highly stratified education system, which fuels excessive competition, must be corrected to truly address the issue of private tutoring dependency.
