STORYLINE:
South Korea and the US on Friday conducted their first-ever joint live-fire exercise using unmanned aerial vehicles as part of efforts to demonstrate their readiness.
South Korea’s RQ-4B "Global Hawk" reconnaissance aircraft and the US MQ-9 Reaper strike drone were mobilised for the training, according to South Korea’s air force.
South Korea and the US have been expanding their regular military drills to cope with North Korea’s evolving nuclear threats.
The exercise took place a day after North Korea test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which demonstrated a potential advancement in its ability to launch long-range nuclear attacks on the mainland US.
South Korea’s Foreign Ministry said on Friday it has imposed unilateral sanctions on 11 North Korean individuals and four organisations for their alleged roles in procuring missile components and generating foreign currency to fund Pyongyang’s weapons program.
The sanctions are largely symbolic given that financial transactions between the Koreas have been suspended for years.
