US, South Korea stage massive live-fire drill
South Korean and US troops staged their biggest-ever joint live-fire drill yesterday, including a simulated mechanised assault deep into North Korean territory, just days after the two Koreas ended a tense military standoff. The drill was held near the border town of Pocheon, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) south of the demilitarised zone (DMZ), which splits the Korean peninsula between North and South.
