South Korea and the U.S. start their joint military drills as scheduled today despite the recent provocations from North Korea.
The drills, which will last around two weeks,… involve a computer-simulated command post exercise to train for a potential emergency on the Korean Peninsula.
These drills will see South Korea retake wartime operational control of its troops from the U.S.
Although the allies scrapped or scaled down large-scale joint military drills,... North Korea said the two of the short-range ballistic missiles it fired last month were a "solemn warning" to the South against the drills and its purchase of fighter jets from the U.S.
