U.S. And South Korean Troops Begin War games Amid High Tensions With North Korea



S. Korea, U.S. Conduct Drills As North Threatens War -- USA Today

South Korea and the United States began annual military drills Monday despite North Korean threats to respond by voiding the armistice that ended the Korean War and launching a nuclear attack on the U.S.

After the start of the drills, South Korean officials said their northern counterparts didn't answer two calls on a hotline between the sides, apparently following through on an earlier vow to cut the communication channel because of the drills.

CNN reported that the supreme command of North Korea's army has already declared the 1953 armistice invalid. The media organization picked up on comments made by the army chief in North Korea's Rodong Sinmun newspaper.
