Quick Glance: South Korea’s ‘Luke Skywalker’ Triumphs Against President Yoon
  • Former minister Cho Kuk aids in leftwing alliance's electoral victory

  • Former justice minister Cho Kuk, convicted on corruption charges, played a pivotal role in the defeat of conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol in parliamentary elections.

  • Cho calls for Yoon and PPP leader Han Dong-hoon, both former prosecutors, to be held accountable for abuse of power.

  • The leftwing alliance narrowly missed the 200-seat mark that would have allowed them to bypass a presidential veto. Yoon now faces over three years as a lame duck, while the country heads towards more than three years of stagnation.

Quick Glance: North Korea's Kim Supervises 'Super-Large' Rocket Launcher Drills
  • North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw live-fire drills involving 'newly-equipped super-large' multiple rocket launchers.

  • The drills aimed to test the 'real war capabilities' of the 600-millimeter multiple rocket launchers and included simulating an aerial explosion of a shell at a predetermined altitude above the target.

  • Kim emphasized that the rocket launchers would be the 'core central striking means' in war preparations and that the army should possess destructive offensive means to block and suppress the possibility of war.

  • North Korea is banned from testing ballistic missiles due to long-running sanctions, and the latest tests were seen as the regime's attempt to demonstrate strength, signal costs on the Korean Peninsula for security cooperation, and warn Washington against increased pressure.
