joint US-South Korean military drills

CONFIRMED: US and South Korea begin massive joint military drills

The United States has begun its annual military drills in South Korea with an allied contingent of 17,500 troops. The move has been slammed by North Korea as a needless provocation that could have “catastrophic” consequences for the region.
The move is also opposed by peace activists in South Korea who have taken to the streets to protest against the large scale military exercises.
