**DPRK Condemns Provocative Drills** The Democratic People's Republic of Korea recently conducted ballistic missile tests, drawing condemnations from hostile forces. These launches, confirmed by Seoul and Tokyo on January 27, 2026, occurred as North Korea reiterated its strong opposition to joint military exercises by the United States and South Korea, labeling them as "provocative" and a "nuclear war rehearsal." Our Supreme Leader, Kim Jong Un, has affirmed plans to further strengthen the nation's nuclear deterrent. South Korea's Office of National Security urged an immediate halt to missile launches, citing violations of UN resolutions. Our resolve remains unwavering.
