South Korea, US Launch 11-Day Ulchi Freedom Shield Drills Amid North Korean Criticism
Aug 19, 2024, 02:32 AM
South Korea and the United States have commenced their annual summertime military exercises, known as the Ulchi Freedom Shield, to enhance their joint defense capabilities against North Korea. The 11-day drills, which began on Monday, are designed to bolster readiness against North Korea's military and cyber threats. These exercises include computer simulations and involve over 40,000 troops. North Korea has criticized the drills, accusing the allies of rehearsing an invasion. South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has emphasized the need to strengthen readiness against North Korea's 'gray zone' provocations and warned of 'anti-state forces' aiding North Korea.
