The United States stations about 28,500 troops in the South to fend off military threats from the nuclear-armed North and last month conducted a joint military exercise with its security allies South Korea and Japan.
Pyongyang routinely denounces such drills as rehearsals for invasion, while the allies insist they are defensive in nature.
