US guided-missile submarine arrives in South Korea, a day after North Korea resumes missile tests

14 Sept 01:39 Key points summarised by AI

The United States deployed the nuclear-powered guided-missile submarine USS Michigan to South Korea, marking the first such deployment in six years.
This strategic move fulfills a bilateral agreement to enhance the "regular visibility" of U.S. strategic assets on the Korean Peninsula, directly countering North Korea's advancing nuclear program.
The USS Michigan's arrival facilitates joint drills between U.S. and South Korean navies, aiming to boost special operation capabilities and strengthen their collective response to growing North Korean nuclear threats.
The deployment follows North Korea's resumption of missile tests, firing two short-range ballistic missiles in protest of ongoing U.S.-South Korean live-fire drills.

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.
