South Korea, the United States and Japan will hold their first joint military drills focused on tracking missile launches from North Korea, according to media reports.
The exercises, which will involve Aegis destroyers from the three nations, will take place in late June off Hawaii, South Korea’s Defense Ministry said in a text message Monday, according to Bloomberg.
It will not involve missile-interception training, The Associated Press reported, citing a South Korean official who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing department rules.
The three countries made an intelligence-gathering pact in 2014 in response to growing nuclear and missile threats from North Korea.
