The United States and South Korea will conduct more than 10 days of large-scale military exercises in March, including amphibious landings, officials from the two countries said on Friday.
North Korea says such joint military exercises are proof that the United States and its allies are hostile and bent on regime change in the North.
When asked about the North's reaction, Colonel Isaac Taylor, a spokesman for U.S. Forces Korea , said the drills were routine and purely defensive.Freedom Shield will feature field exercises on a scale not seen since about 2017, before former U.S. President Donald Trump scaled back public drills to facilitate diplomacy with North Korea.
Over the past month South Korean and U.S. special operations troops conducted a live-fire drill named "Teak Knife", which included a U.S. AC-130J gunship that participated in joint drills for the first time, firing guided missiles and bombs as well as 30 mm and 105 mm guns.Our Standards:
