U.S. and South Korean forces later this month will hold the largest joint military drills in the Korean peninsula in five years, as tensions remain high with neighboring North Korea.
The 11-day exercises will start March 13 and will include simulations as well as live demonstrations in the sea and air, and on land, U.S. Forces Korea and the Republic of Korea announced on Friday.
The drills are likely to anger North Korea, which sees the exercises as provocative and a threat to its nation.
North Korea has often responded by test-firing ballistic missiles in the region, setting off alarms in both South Korea and Japan.
