North Korea warns U.S., Japan, and South Korea drills could lead to "negative consequences."

North Korea has strongly condemned upcoming joint military drills by the US, Japan, and South Korea, warning they could lead to "negative consequences." The drills, aimed at enhancing defenses against North Korea's nuclear and missile threats, are seen by Pyongyang as a "reckless show of strength." North Korea's leader's sister, Kim Yo Jong, issued the warning through state media, while the country's news agency, KCNA, emphasized the need to boost North Korea's nuclear readiness in response.
