The leak of classified US intelligence documents, which the Pentagon says poses a “very serious risk” for the national security of the United States, continues to cause trouble. During a telephone call on Tuesday, April 11, the American and South Korean defense ministers nevertheless estimated that“a significant number of the documents in question have been falsified”according to a statement from the South Korean presidency.
For its part, the Pentagon assures that it is trying to determine if the documents are indeed authentic and declared that at least one of them seemed to have been manipulated. The leak prompted US officials to reassure allies, such as South Korea, which provided humanitarian and non-lethal aid to Ukraine after the Russian invasion of the country began in 2022.
