The South Korean and U.S. militaries are set to begin massive live-fire drills near the border with North Korea, despite the North’s warning that it won’t tolerate what it calls such a hostile invasion rehearsal on its doorstep.
The U.S.-South Korean firing exercises, called “the combined annihilation firepower drills,” would be the biggest of their kind. The drills have been held 11 times since they began in 1977, according to the South Korean Defense Ministry.
Last Friday, North Korea’s state media called the drills “a typical North Korea-targeted war rehearsal.” It said North Korea “cannot but take a more serious note of the fact that” that the drills would be held in an area a few kilometers from its frontier. Moon Seong Mook, an analyst for the Seoul-based Korea Research Institute for National Strategy, said North Korea could use the South Korea-U.S. drills as a pretext to resume testing activities to attain its stated goal of modernizing its weapons arsenals. He said domestic issues such as North Korea’s push to increase agricultural production amid the rice-planting season could still affect its decision on weapons tests.
