Members of U.S. Special Operations Command Korea and South Korea’s Army Special Warfare Command take part in a joint maritime infiltration training as part of the Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise, at a shore in Yangyang, northern South Korea, Monday, Aug. 28, 2023. The US, Japan and South Korea held a joint military drill to practice hunting for missiles from the likes of North Korea in their first such exercise since the leaders of the three nations pledged to improve security cooperation.
The exercises were intended to “strengthen the response posture and capabilities against North Korea’s escalating nuclear and missile threats,” South Korea’s navy said in a statement. Getting on the same page as quickly as possible is essential given that a ballistic missile launched from North Korea could reach all of South Korea in a few minutes and most of Japan in less than 15 minutes.
Kim also hosted a banquet to honor the navy and posed for pictures with service members along with his preteen daughter. She’s been at the leader’s side for events that have included missile launches and state functions, likely to signal that the Kim dynasty that has ruled the country since its founding will continue.
