BREAKING : North Korea, Under Sanctions Strain, Dials Back Military Exercises

North Korea's armed forces have scaled back their annual winter military exercises this year, U.S. officials said, a development they believe reflects growing pressure from international sanctions on the isolated nation's economy and its military preparedness.

One possibility is that restrictions on shipments of oil and refined petroleum products to North Korea imposed by the United Nations have led the country, which has one of the world's largest standing armies, to conserve fuel by cutting back on ground and air training exercises.

Impact : Medium 

Sentiment: Bad for Safe-Haven
