North Korea Performs Live-Fire Drills

In a recent growing trend, North Korean leader Kim Jung Un is inciting a heightened military presence near the South Korean border, giving a sense that a war between the two nations may be imminent. Kim handed new weapons to soldiers at a base camp that held live-fire military drills, allowing but a few media outlets to witness the training. It is believed the reason for the drills may be because of plans for American-South Korean live-fire drills to be done through April. Kim is resisting the plans of those drills, believing they will complicate the agreement made recently to halt nuclear production for food aid. The reported live-fire drills between the American-South Korean soldiers are said to include tactical invasion maneuvers, which leads one to ask whether the drills carried out by the North Koreans was acceptable or not.
