South Korean President Lee Jae Myung rejected allegations that a minister publicly identified the location of a North Korean nuclear facility based on US intelligence, calling the accusation “absurd.”

South Korean media reported that the US is limiting intelligence sharing on North Korea with Seoul after Unification Minister Chung Dong-young publicly identified North Korea’s uranium enrichment facility in Kusong last month.
