SEOUL -- South Korea's military will conduct 2 days of drills around a tiny island also claimed by Japan, Yonhap news agency reported on Sunday, just days after Seoul decided to scrap an intelligence-sharing pact with Tokyo amid worsening relations.
The military drills were scheduled to begin on Sunday, Yonhap reported, and could exacerbate tensions between the 2 neighbors. Relations between South Korea and Japan began to deteriorate late last year following a diplomatic row over compensation for wartime forced laborers during Japan’s occupation of Korea.
