Vigilant Storm was “aimed at intentionally escalating the tension in the region and a dangerous war drill of very high aggressive nature directly targeting” North Korea, the KPA said. The North Korean military, formally known as the Korean People’s Army (KPA), said it was responding to Vigilant Storm - the US-South Korean exercise - describing it as “an open provocation”, according to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
The United States and South Korea have warned that such missile launches could culminate in a nuclear test by North Korea. The warning came after a spate of North Korean weapons tests last week - including an intercontinental ballistic missile - as the United States and South Korea conducted their biggest-ever air force exercise. SEOUL - The North Korean military said its response to US-South Korean war drills would be "resolute and overwhelming", state media reported on Monday.
