“South Korea and its vicinity are now crowded with huge US aggressor forces keen to make a military strike at the DPRK (North Korea) and stifle it,” its KCNA news agency reported a top official as saying.

The United States, which has about 30,000 troops in South Korea to support the country’s more than 650,000 troops, has held joint military drills there for decades without major incident.

US Forces Korea said it would hold its annual joint exercise called Ulchi Focus Lens from Aug. 21 to Sept. 1.

The drills, which test computer systems and command structures, involve about 5,000 US troops on the peninsula, 3,000 US troops in the Pacific and US mainland and an undisclosed number of South Korean troops, a US Forces Korea spokesman said.
