JEJU ISLAND, South Korea -- Naval forces from South Korea, Japan and the U.S. began joint drills off Jeju Island on Monday, the South Korean defense ministry said, simulating a military response against North Korean submarines.
The trilateral drills involve deploying unmanned underwater vehicles as stand-ins for North Korean submarines. The three nations look to improve capabilities for sharing intelligence and repelling subs.
