North Korea said the US-South Korea joint military drills demonstrate Washington’s intention to “occupy” the Korean peninsula and target enemy countries in the region.
In a televised message, Kim Yong Bok, first vice-chief of the General Staff of the Korean People’s Army, warned of “unpleasant situations” if the two nations persist with the military exercises.
The 11-day annual drills, named Ulchi Freedom Shield, began on August 18 and will be conducted on a scale similar to last year.
