South Korea called North Korea “our enemy” in its biennial defence document published on Thursday, reviving the label for its rival for the first time in six years, as tensions worsen between the two.

North Korea conducted an unprecedented number of missile tests in 2022, including simulated nuclear attacks on South Korea.
