SEOUL, Oct 22 — South Korea, together with Japan and the United States, held a joint aerial exercise near the Korean peninsula today, the South Korean military said, marking the first such collaboration between the three countries.
The drill aimed to expand the countries’ response capabilities against North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats, South Korea’s air force said in a statement.
It involved a US B-52 strategic bomber as well as fighter jets of the three nations.
At the Camp David summit in August, leaders of Japan, South Korea and the United States agreed to carry out annual, multi-domain trilateral exercises and set up a hot line for crisis communications.
