Seoul asks Pyongyang to act wisely as US-ROK joint drill begins

The computer-simulated joint exercise will continue for the next nine days, according to the South Korean military

South Korea’s unification ministry called on the North to show a “wise and flexible” attitude toward a joint military drill with the U.S., saying Washington and Seoul have scaled the exercise down to a “minimum” level.

According to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) on Sunday, the “defensive” springtime joint exercise will be held for nine days starting Monday.
