South Korean military drills add to strains with Japan

The South Korean military on Sunday kicked off its two-day biannual military exercises on the islets of Dokdo. They are also claimed by Japan, which calls them Takeshima.
The drills — aimed at demonstrating South Korea’s control of the islets — began just days after the government in Seoul abandoned an intelligence sharing agreement with Tokyo, exacerbating tensions already in their worst state in years.

In the days before and after the Indian government revoked the territory’s special status, an estimated 2,000 people — including business leaders, human rights defenders, elected representatives, teachers, and students as young as 14 — were arrested. They have no access to lawyers, and no idea of the charges against them or how long they will be held.
Political analysts say the mass roundup was the final piece of a detailed planthat Mr. Modi’s government set into motion last year.
