Col. Isaac Taylor, left, of the United Nations Command (UNC), Combined Forces Command (CFC), and United States Forces Korea (USFK) and Col. Lee Sung-jun of South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff attend the press briefing of the Freedom Shield Exercise at the Defense Ministry Friday, March 3, 2023 in Seoul, South Korea.
THE South Korean and US militaries said today that they still plan to go ahead with annual large-scale joint exercises later this month.
North Korea has threatened to take “unprecedentedly” strong action against such war games.
The North views the drills as rehearsal for invasion of the country, so it is likely to respond with missile tests, after already firing a number of projectiles in recent weeks.
