In a significant diplomatic move, South Korea summoned the Russian ambassador on Friday to protest a newly-formed defense pact between Russia and North Korea.
This development occurs as border tensions with North Korea continue to escalate, marked by vague threats from Pyongyang and brief incursions by its troops.
Earlier, Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, issued a veiled threat after South Korean activists sent anti-Pyongyang leaflets across the border.
