South Korea and the United States began their joint springtime military exercises Monday, the South Korean military said, amid strong protests from North Korea.

According to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, the nine-day exercises will be computer simulated and not involve field drills.

"The training this time will offer a chance to enhance the combined operational capabilities of South Korean and U.S. troops and further solidify the allies' combined defense posture," the JCS said in a statement.

North Korea harshly criticized the exercises on its state-run propaganda website . . .
