SEOUL, South Korea — Senior military officials from North Korea and the U.S.-led U.N. Command in South Korea opened talks at the border today, a day after the North threatened passenger planes flying near its airspace.
The talks come ahead of U.S.-South Korean military drills and amid concerns the North is preparing to test-fire a long-range ballistic missile.
Stepping up the rhetoric on the eve of the second meeting, North Korea warned it cannot guarantee security for South Korean civil airplanes flying near its airspace and accused the U.S. and South Korea of attempting to provoke a nuclear war with the upcoming drills.
