South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff reported that North Korea fired around 10 artillery rockets toward the northern waters of the Yellow Sea on Tuesday, appearing to be part of its regular winter military drills. The launches, detected around 3 p.m., were presumed to originate from a 240mm multiple rocket launcher capable of targeting Seoul and surrounding areas. South Korean forces are closely monitoring North Korea's activities under a firm South Korea-U.S. combined defense posture, ready to respond overwhelmingly to any provocation.
South Korea's Army Special Warfare Command is conducting intensive winter drills to boost special operations capabilities in extreme weather. The 12-day exercise is taking place near Daegwallyeong Pass in eastern South Korea and will continue until February. This annual training features veteran officers acting as opponents for more realistic scenarios.

South Korea's military will provide drone operation training to all conscripts starting next year to bolster combat capabilities in modern warfare, the defense ministry announced on Wednesday. Dubbed the "500,000 drone warrior" project, the plan allocates about 33 billion won ($22.9 million) to purchase around 11,000 small commercial drones for training. Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back stated that fostering these drone warriors will not only enhance military drone operations but also serve as a foundation for troops to enter related industries after service.
