"US and South Korea hold massive joint military drills with beach assault practice"
TL;DR
The US and South Korea conducted a joint military exercise, Exercise Ssang Yong, involving thousands of troops and high-end weaponry to practice an amphibious assault, a maneuver offensive in its nature and designed to take territory, not defend it. The exercise put the integrated firepower of US and South Korean forces on full display. Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have been on edge since talks between then-US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un failed to produce an agreement after three meetings between the two, the last in 2019.
