Seoul: South Korea, the United States and Japan today held combined air drills, involving at least one B-1B bomber, the South’s defense ministry said, following North Korea’s recent launches of hypersonic and short-range ballistic missiles.
The trilateral drills, the first such exercise held this year (2025), also involved South Korean F-15K and Japanese F-2 fighter jets, Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported, citing the Korean Defense Ministry. The latest exercise was held to enhance their joint capabilities to deter and respond to Pyongyang’s evolving nuclear and missile threats, it added.
“South Korea, the US and Japan will strengthen cooperation to jointly deter North Korea’s threats and respond to them while continuously expanding trilateral drills based on close cooperation,” the ministry said.
