North Korea, under the leadership of Kim Jong Un, has conducted paratrooper drills aimed at showing the capability to occupy an "enemy region at a stroke" and resumed missile tests, escalating tensions shortly after the annual U.S.-South Korean military exercises. State media highlighted these drills as a demonstration of the soldiers' capability, with Kim emphasizing the "main responsibility" of the Korean People’s Army to fully prepare for war. Additionally, Kim Jong Un's teenage daughter was notably present at the airborne training exercise, with state media and analysts referring to her as a "great person of guidance", suggesting her potential future leadership role. This series of military activities comes as a direct response to the U.S.-South Korea military drills, further straining relations in the region.
