Abstract
Several events have increased tensions between North Korea and South Korea, including Kim Jong-un’s successful satellite launch in November 2023 and the abrogation by South Korea of parts of the 2018 Comprehensive Military Agreement. Hamas’s brutal attack against Israel in October also triggered a fresh bout of alarmism in the South Korean government over its vulnerability to attack. Despite North Korea’s aggressive rhetoric, however, border provocations have been more symbolic than deadly since Kim took power in 2012.
