US-ROK To Begin Joint Exercise This Week
There will probably be more missiles being fired by North Korea next week as the joint exercise between the ROK and South Korea is scheduled to begin:
South Korea and the United States will stage joint military drills as scheduled despite warnings from North Korea, the South Korean military authority said Sunday.
The joint drills will begin Monday with a computer-simulated command post exercise (CPX) to cope with any emergency on the Korean Peninsula and last for half a month, according to the authority.
After the CPX, the allies will spend the remaining 10 days intensively verifying Seoul’s capabilities for its envisioned retaking of wartime operational control (OPCON) of its troops from Washington.
But many watchers say the joint military drills could prompt further provocation from the North.

“… 10 days intensively verifying Seoul’s capabilities for its envisioned retaking of wartime operational control (OPCON)…” Is this some sort of joke.
The joke is the Yonhap giving voice to the cowards and nork shills who say an unrepentant enemy might become upset if the RoK has any friends outside Pyongyang
“the joint exercise between the ROK and South Korea is scheduled to begin”
Between the ROK and South Korea? That really sounds joint….
