US Reportedly Restricts Intelligence Sharing with South Korea Over North Korean Nuclear Facilities

The United States has limited South Korea's access to intelligence information about North Korea's nuclear facilities, according to sources familiar with the matter. The restriction reportedly came in response to leaked details about a nuclear facility in Kusong, North Korea. South Korean military officials acknowledged the limitation but stated it had no immediate impact on their ability to gather intelligence. The development has raised concerns in Seoul about potential cracks in intelligence cooperation between the two longtime allies, who maintain close military ties in monitoring North Korean nuclear activities.
