The US has partially restricted intelligence sharing with South Korea after Unification Minister Chung Dong-young disclosed information about North Korea's third nuclear facility in Kusong during a March 6 parliamentary hearing. Normally receiving 50-100 pages of daily intelligence on North Korea, Seoul has not received such reports for approximately a week. The US concluded the minister disclosed classified information and expressed dissatisfaction through private channels. South Korea relies heavily on US intelligence, including satellite assets, for monitoring North Korea.
