This market hinges on whether a military offensive has the specific intention of establishing territorial control over South Korean territory, which can be difficult to distinguish from border skirmishes, artillery strikes, or limited incursions without formal declarations. Resolution relies on statements from any of several diverse bodies—including South Korea, North Korea, the UN, or any permanent member of the UN Security Council—with no established hierarchy between conflicting statements, as well as a general consensus of credible media reporting.
