Seoul. The US, South Korea and Japan held joint missile defense drills in the sea off the Korean Peninsula on Monday. All three countries are expanding their military training to counter the growing threat posed by North Korean missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons. Missile testing by South Korea has increased in recent months and since the beginning of 2022, North Korea has so far fired more than 100 missiles of various ranges into the sea.
North Korea may retaliate in response to the South Korea-US-Japan exercise. North Korea has been critical of US military drills with its Asian allies, calling them pre-attack drills. Tensions have risen in the region in recent months due to the activities of various countries.
South Korea’s navy said Monday’s naval exercise was focused on gaining expertise in procedures for detecting, tracking and sharing information about incoming ballistic missiles from North Korea. The US and South Korea also began air force drills on Monday involving about 110 warplanes, including the state-of-the-art F-35 fighter jets. This exercise will continue till 28 April.
