South Korea plans to discuss leaked Pentagon classified documents with US

This is reported by Sky News.

On Monday, April 10, South Korea confirmed that it was aware of the leak of classified information from the Pentagon. Therefore, Seoul, according to one of the officials, plans to discuss with the United States "issues raised as a result of the leak, which first emerged on 6 April."

The British media reports that one of the leaked documents contained information about internal discussions between high-ranking South Korean officials. They concerned, in particular, pressure on Seoul to supply weapons to Ukraine.

The document, which is undated, also states that South Korea agreed to sell artillery shells to help the United States replenish its stockpile. At the same time, Seoul insisted that the final recipient should be the US military, as it was worried that the ammunition would be sent to Ukraine.

In addition, the leaked information was based on signals intelligence. This suggests that the United States was spying on South Korea.
