NKorea labels US-SKorea drills ‘a provocative act’

The North Korea Foreign Ministry says the US-South Korea joint military exercises are “a dangerous provocative act”.

The annual South Korean and US military exercises called Freedom Shield are due to begin on Monday and run until Thursday.

They aim to strengthen the readiness of the alliance for threats such as North Korea, the South Korean military said earlier.

North Korea has traditionally called for these joint exercises to be called off, branding them as a prelude to invasion.

“This is a dangerous provocative act of leading the acute situation on the Korean peninsula, which may spark off a physical conflict between the two sides by means of an accidental single shot, to the extreme point,” the Foreign Ministry said through state media KCNA on Monday.

The drills would harm US security, the ministry added.
