SEOUL, South Korea -- South Korea, the United States and Japan carried out their first joint aerial drills on Sunday, Seoul's military said.
The exercise, which involved a US nuclear-weapons-capable B-52 bomber, comes as Seoul, Washington and Tokyo beef up their defence cooperation against growing missile and nuclear threats from North Korea.
The trilateral exercise took place south of the Korean peninsula, where Seoul and Tokyo's air defence identification zones overlap, according to the South Korean Air Force. Pyongyang views all such exercises as rehearsals for an invasion and has repeatedly warned it would take"overwhelming" action in response.
It also landed ahead of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's two-day visit to Pyongyang, as the UN-sanctioned neighbourbors and historic allies tighten ties.
