On April 17, the South Korean Army and Marine Corps conducted live-fire drills near the border with North Korea.

The exercise was held at a firing range in Cherwon, 85km northeast of the capital Seoul.

About 430 soldiers from the Capital Corps and the 2nd Marine Division participated in the exercise.

The exercise involved 30 units of K9 and K55A1 self-propelled artillery, as well as counter-battery radars and reconnaissance drones.

The exercise aims to enhance the joint combat capabilities of the Republic of Korea Army and Marine Corps.

South Korea has conducted live-fire drills near its border with North Korea, after Pyongyang fired a medium-range ballistic missile into waters east of the Korean Peninsula earlier this month.
