SEOUL – The US and South Korea are set to begin their largest-ever live-fire drills that will take place near the border with North Korea, which has threatened retaliation against the two nations it labels “war maniacs”.

Mr Yoon, who took office a year ago, has worked to restore joint drills with the US that had been suspended or scaled back under his predecessor, Mr Moon Jae-in, and former president Donald Trump, as they sought a rapprochement with Pyongyang.
After starting the year firing off rockets at a blistering pace, Mr Kim’s regime has not launched a ballistic missile for more than a month. But the last one marked a major development for the country’s programme,designed to deliver a nuclear warhead to the US mainland.
