North Korean Fighter Intrudes on South’s Airspace

The entry into South Korean airspace by a North Korean fighter plane raises already-high tensions between the United States and North Korea. The timing of the maneuver, as well as its route, seems to imply a deliberate act on the part of North Korea to remind the U.S. of its military capabilities. North Korea’s decision to pull out of the armistice treaty, along with the reactivation of its nuclear program, has increased fears of a potentially devastating war in the Asia-Pacific region. – YaleGlobal
