South Korea army division to conduct exercises near DMZ

South Korea's military is planning to conduct tactical training drills near the demilitarized zone on Tuesday and Wednesday.


The country's 25th infantry division, one of the three infantry divisions founded toward the end of the 1950-53 Korean War, will be engaging in the exercises near the border towns of Paju, Yangju, and Yeoncheon, Yonhap reported Monday.

For the purposes of the drills, which are taking place as the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics carries on in neighboring Gangwon Province, public roads including routes 37, 367 and 371 are being used to transport a large number of personnel and army equipment, according to the report.
