North Korea slams US-South Korea military drills and threatens strong response
North Korea threatened unspecified stern steps against the United States and South Korea preceding their major military drills. Pyongyang called the upcoming Ulchi Freedom Shield exercises a "rehearsal for an aggressive war," suggesting it would exercise its right to self-defense. The U.S. and South Korean militaries, however, stated the 11-day joint operations are defensive efforts intended to strengthen readiness against North Korean threats.
