South Korea To Hold Dokdo Defense Drill

South Korea is set to stage its biannual defense drill on and around Dokdo this week.

According to Sources the navy, air force and coastguard will take part in the exercise on Tuesday, which will mostly involve maritime and non-contact training.

Last year, it was scaled down due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The drill has been conducted every six months since 1986.

Japan has been complaining over the exercise repeating its false territorial claims to South Korea’s easternmost island.
