    • Missile Tests: North Korea has conducted several ballistic missile tests in recent months, including a launch from an underwater platform in January 2024, raising concerns about its nuclear program’s advancements.

    Casualties and Death Toll:

    • Thankfully, there haven’t been any military confrontations or reported casualties related to the current tensions.

    Affected Countries:

    How it Started:

    Tensions have simmered on the peninsula for decades. However, the recent escalation can be traced back to:

      • Increased joint military exercises by South Korea and the United States, which North Korea also views as a rehearsal for invasion.
      • North Korea’s continued development of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile technology.

    Background:

    • North Korea, officially known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), is an isolated and impoverished country.
    • It is a proclaimed enemy of its southern neighbor, South Korea (officially called the Republic of Korea), which is an important U.S. ally.
    • The Korean peninsula has a long history of conflict, including the Korean War in the early 1950s during the Cold War.

    Korean War and Military Casualties:

    • The Korean War resulted in significant casualties:
      • Approximately 2 million Koreans lost their lives.
      • 600,000 Chinese soldiers were casualties.
      • 37,000 Americans and 3,000 troops from other nations in the UN forces also lost their lives.

    North Korea’s Military Preparedness:

    • North Korea maintains a large standing army, with approximately 1.2 million troops stationed near the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
    • The DMZ, separating North and South Korea, is also one of the most heavily armed borders globally.
    • North Korea continues overt nuclear enrichment and long-range missile development efforts, in violation of UN Security Council resolutions.

    Recent Developments:
