North Korea fired at least one unidentified projectile eastward on Saturday, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The launch occurred as South Korea and the United States conducted their key springtime military exercise. Pyongyang has long criticized the allies' drills as preparations for an invasion.
Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back will visit the United States next week to meet U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The allies plan to discuss wartime operational control transfer and other pending security issues.

The South Korean and U.S. militaries have postponed announcing a date for their major springtime Freedom Shield exercise due to differences over the scale of on-field drills. The U.S. expressed reluctance to South Korea's proposal to minimize field training, citing already arrived troops and equipment. The two sides plan to announce the exercise later this month or early March.
Verteidigungsminister Ahn Gyu-back und US-Verteidigungsminister Pete Hegseth planen einen Besuch der Demilitarisierten Zone (DMZ), die die beiden Koreas trennt, am Montag. Der Besuch findet einen Tag vor ihren jährlichen Sicherheitsgesprächen statt und ist Teil von Hegseths Reise nach Südkorea. Es handelt sich um den ersten gemeinsamen Besuch der Verteidigungsminister der Verbündeten seit Oktober 2017.
