South Korea and the United States will start their annual joint military exercises next week to enhance their combined ability to counter North Korean nuclear threats. The Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise, scheduled from August 19 to 29, includes computer-simulated drills to improve readiness against missiles, GPS jamming, cyberattacks, and live-fire field maneuvers. About 19,000 South Korean troops will participate, while the number of US troops and involvement of strategic assets is not yet confirmed. The exercises aim to strengthen the allies' defense capabilities and demonstrate their resolve. North Korea views these drills as invasion rehearsals and may respond aggressively. South Korea will also conduct civil defense drills based on North Korean nuclear attack scenarios.
