U.S. military officials report no unusual activity from North Korean forces following South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s declaration of emergency martial law. However, they have heightened surveillance of North Korean troops due to potential provocations.

According to the Washington Times and other sources, Admiral Samuel Paparo, Commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, addressed the situation at a security conference held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California on Saturday. He mentioned that while no opportunistic provocations from North Korea have been observed thus far, they have bolstered their monitoring posture in anticipation of potential scenarios.

Paparo noted that peaceful demonstrations are ongoing regarding the situation in South Korea following the martial law declaration. He expressed confidence that there is no significant risk of tension developing between civilians and military personnel.

Paparo revealed that Pyongyang initiated the proposal addressing North Korea’s troop deployment to Russia. He further disclosed that North Korea is negotiating with Russia to acquire MiG-29 and Su-27 fighter jets in exchange for troop deployment, with some agreements already in place.
