North Korea Criticizes U.S.-South Korea Drills

0:00On March 10th, here's the latest in global news. North Korea's cameo-jung sharply criticized the ongoing joint military drills between the United States and South Korea. She called them a provocative war rehearsal that threatens regional peace. The annual Freedom Shield exercises kicked off on March 9th and run through March 19th. These drills involve more than 18,000 South Korean and U.S. troops. They cover land, sea, air, space, and cyber operations across the Korean Peninsula. North Korea sees this as proof of a hostile policy aimed directly at them. Meanwhile, U.S. and South Korean officials insist the exercises are purely defensive. They focus on deterring North Korea's nuclear threats and include scenarios to counter those weapons. The drills also help prepare for a big change, handing over wartime operational control from the U.S. to South Korea. So once this done before their president's term ends in 2030, this comes just a month after North Korea's leader announced plans to grow their nuclear arsenal even more.
