On Monday, the U.S. military began drilling to evacuate non-combatants from South Korea in case the red-hot rhetoric explodes into an all-out war between the United States and North Korea. This comes after North Korea resumed its threats against U.S. territory Guam amid the latest joint military exercises between the U.S. and South Korea which also began Monday involving the U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet.
According to a statement by the military, this drill is to prepare “service members and their families to respond to a wide range of crisis management events such as non-combatant evacuation and natural or man-made disasters”.
