North Korea Puts Military on Full Combat Alert as U.S. and South Korea Begin Joint Exercises

North Korea has placed its military on full combat alert as the United States and South Korea begin their annual joint military exercises.

Along with the heightened military alert North Korea has warned that any attempt to interfere with a planned satellite launch could result in war. The war warning is the latest aggressive act from North Korea who had earlier stated they could not guarantee the safety of South Korean airlines that past near their airspace.

As a result of the airspace warning South Korea rerouted several hundred flights.

North Korea has insisted their planned satellite launch was for peaceful purposes but South Korea, the United States and several other countries have called it a guise to test-fire a long-range missile. That planned launch was the focus of the most recent warning as Pyongyang warned, “We will retaliate any act of intercepting our satellite for peaceful purposes with prompt counter-strikes by the most powerful military means.”

The joint exercises conducted by the United States and South Korea will last 12 days and involve about 50,000 troops.
