SEOUL - South Korean and U.S. special forces troops recently conducted drills simulating the infiltration of an enemy facility, U.S. military photos seen by Reuters on Monday show, as tensions with North Korea ratchet up ahead of a year-end deadline.
A South Korean official said the drill was designed as a hostage rescue operation training as part of a counter-terrorism drill conducted quarterly by the allies. The U.S. Forces Korea did not respond to a request for comment. Pyongyang has in the past accused the United States and South Korea of seeking to topple its regime with “hostile policy”, while slamming their regular joint military exercises as plots to “decapitate” its leadership and a rehearsal for war.
