Seoul says it will resume sea border drills over North Korean artillery fire

Seoul’s announcement that it will resume military exercises in the maritime buffer zone marks its latest rollback of provisions under the 2018 Comprehensive Military Agreement (CMA), which the DPRK already scrapped in full in late November.
