South Korea, United States and Japan hold joint military exercises

By Alimat Aliyeva

South Korea, the United States, and Japan recently conducted
joint military air exercises to strengthen trilateral security
cooperation in response to growing threats from North Korea,
Azernews reports.

The exercises involved South Korean F-15K, American F-16, and
Japanese F-2 fighter jets and took place in the southern region of
South Korea.

“The exercises were conducted to reinforce security cooperation
between South Korea, the United States, and Japan, deter the
increasing nuclear and missile threats posed by North Korea, and
maintain peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and throughout
the region,” the South Korean Air Force said in an official
statement.

Notably, these are the first trilateral military exercises held
following the election of South Korea’s President Yoon Suk-yeol.
The previous exercises took place in January.

These joint drills are part of a broader effort to enhance
interoperability among the allied forces and demonstrate a unified
front amid escalating regional tensions. Analysts suggest that such
coordinated displays of military readiness serve as a strong
deterrent message not only to North Korea but also to other
regional actors watching the balance of power in East Asia.
