Leader Kim Jong-un drove a "new type of battle tank" during military exercises in North Korea. The exercises took place on the last day of the annual spring military maneuvers in Washington and Seoul.

Pyongyang has long condemned these exercises, which it considers to be rehearsals for an invasion of its territory. Since the start of the year, Pyongyang has designated South Korea as its "main enemy," closed agencies dedicated to reunification and inter-Korean dialogue, and threatened war over any violation.
