U.S. Launches Massive Joint Military Exercise with South Korea

HeadlineAug 23, 2022

The United States has launched joint military exercises with South Korea in a massive show of force against North Korea. The exercises are the largest such war games in at least five years, involving tanks, naval vessels, warplanes and potentially tens of thousands of troops. This follows a series of North Korean missile tests earlier this year and comes amid U.S. intelligence claims that Pyongyang is preparing its first nuclear weapons test since September 2017.
