- A trove of leaked Pentagon documents reveal US spying on allies, including South Korea.
- South Korea said it believes a lot of the documents are fabricated.
- The major leak appears to contain genuine documents, but some appear altered, US officials say.
South Korea said that many of the documents contained in a major leak of US intelligence are fabricated.
Pentagon intelligence documents, which include intelligence on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and on allies, including South Korea, were shared across multiple social media platforms last week.
But South Korea's presidential office said in a statement that US and South Korean defense ministers agreed that much of the documents' content isn't real.
It's unclear if it was referring to content specifically related to South Korea.
