SEOUL - South Korea, the United States and Japan will stage joint naval missile defence exercises on Monday as they push for greater security cooperation to better counter North Korea’s evolving missile threats, Seoul’s navy said.
The three countries would focus on mastering response procedures from detection to tracking to information sharing by creating a virtual target under the scenario of a North Korean ballistic missile provocation, the South Korean navy said. “It is an opportunity to strengthen trilateral security cooperation against North Korea’s escalating nuclear and missile threats, and solidify our navy’s capability and posture to respond to ballistic missiles,” Captain Kim Ki-young of the South Korean destroyer said in a statement.
