US Vice President Kamala Harris arrived in South Korea to reinforce Washington's alliance with Seoul amidst North Korea's recent ballistic missile tests.
During her visit, Harris is scheduled to meet South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and will visit the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a move expected to anger Pyongyang.
Her trip aims to address regional stability, with Harris condemning North Korea's "illicit weapons program" following its multiple missile launches this week and warnings of a potential nuclear test.
The visit coincides with large-scale joint naval exercises between the US and South Korea, demonstrating a united front against North Korean provocations.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
