South Korean, U.S. and Japanese navies start their first anti-submarine drills in six months to boost their coordination against increasing North Korean missile threats, according to the South Korean Military
FILE - North Korea could carry out new missile tests in response to the South Korea-US-Japan drills because it views such training as a security threat.
The maritime exercises in international waters off South Korea’s southern island of Jeju involved the nuclear-powered USS Nimitz aircraft carrier and naval destroyers from South Korea, the US and Japan, South Korea’s Defence Ministry said in a statement. Photographs in North Korea's state media last week showed about 10 capsule-shaped, red-tipped warheads called “Hwasan -31” with different serial numbers.
Foreign experts debate whether North Korea has functioning nuclear-armed missiles. But South Korea’s defence minister, Lee Jong-Sup, recently said the North’s technology to build miniaturised warheads to be mounted on advanced short-range missiles was believed to have made considerable progress.
