US restricts intel sharing with South Korea

The United States has restricted intelligence sharing about North Korea with South Korea due to an alleged leak of sensitive information. According to Hankyoreh, U.S. authorities believe South Korea's Unification Minister Chung Dong-yong revealed secret data about North Korea's third nuclear site that originated from Washington. The U.S. expressed its discontent through closed channels after the minister reported the site's existence on March 6. This development highlights tensions in intelligence cooperation between the two allies regarding North Korean nuclear activities.
