US, South Korea conduct river-crossing drills as tensions with North escalate
Fox News
The U.S. and South Korea conducted river-crossing drills south of Seoul on Wednesday. North Korea has taken offense at the extensive military exercises.
Boats pushed the pontoons into position to assemble the crossings, which would allow for troop and vehicle movement in the event of a key bridge being destroyed. The temporary crossings could also allow U.S. and South Korean forces to avoid using major infrastructure landmarks entirely. Send tips to Anders.Hagstrom@Fox.com, or on Twitter: @Hagstrom_Anders
While the border between North and South Korea is made up of multiple rivers, military officials told Reuters that Wednesday's operation was purely defensive.
