SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea and the U.S. kicked off annual military exercises today, a day after North Korea denounced the training as a rehearsal for invasion and threatened to attack the allies.
About 18,000 American soldiers and an undisclosed number of South Korean troops are taking part in 11 days of drills across South Korea, according to U.S. and South Korean militaries.
The exercises, dubbed Key Resolve and Foal Eagle, are aimed at rehearsing how to deploy U.S. reinforcements in time of an emergency on the Korean peninsula, said U.S. military spokesman Kim Yong-kyu.
