US, S Korea To Kick Off Largest Drills In Five Years
Written by Black Hot Fire Network on March 12, 2023
South Korea and the United States were set to kick off their largest joint exercises in five years on Monday, after nuclear-armed Pyongyang warned such drills could be seen as a "declaration of war".
Washington and Seoul have ramped up defence cooperation in the face of growing military and nuclear threats from the North, which has conducted ever more provocative banned weapons tests in recent months.
The US-South Korea exercises, called Freedom Shield, are scheduled to run for at least 10 days from Monday and will focus on the "changing security environment" due . . .
