South Korea and US conduct joint drone exercise
South Korea and the United States have conducted their first-ever joint unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) exercise, a move seen as a response to North Korea's recent ballistic missile tests.
The exercise involved the South Korean RQ-4B Global Hawk reconnaissance drone and the US MQ-9 Reaper attack drone.
The two drones simulated a scenario targeting a potential enemy provocation, showcasing the allies' enhanced capabilities in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.
The joint exercise highlights the growing military cooperation between the two nations in the face of increasing threats from North Korea.
The recent ICBM launch by North Korea has heightened tensions in the region, prompting a stronger response from South Korea and its allies. (ILKHA)
