Along with U.S., Southern Korean, and Asian ships, the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz took part in naval anti-submarine drills this year.
According to an article released by the state-run Korean Central News Agency on Thursday,” The U.S. kicked off several largest-ever joint military drills against the DPRK instantly, despite the latter repeated’s grave instructions, pushing the security situation of the Korean peninsula to the verge of a nuclear battle.”
According to the story, which was attributed to Choe Ju Hyon, who North Korea claims is an” international security analyst ,”” the U. S. led allied soldiers were busy with an anti-submarin war exercise and a search and rescue exercise in the waters around the Korean peninsula to stoke an atmosphere of clash with the DPRK.”
