Tension mounts as North Korea ripped up five-year-old military pact with South

<span style="color: #222222;">North Korea has ripped up a five-year-old military pact with South Korea, aimed at lowering military tensions between the two countries. It all started when North Korea claimed to have successfully launched a spy satellite into space on Tuesday. This led South Korea to suspend the agreement partially, saying it would resume surveillance flights along the border. Pyongyang has said it will move more troops and military equipment to the border, and will no longer be bound by the 2018 joint military accord.<br />''<br />''The Comprehensive Military Agreement was signed in Pyongyang in 2018, by the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and the South Korean President Moon Jae-in. Under the pact, both countries agreed to completely cease all hostile acts against each other, by implementing military confidence-building measures in the air, land, and sea domains.</span><br />
