The United States and South Korea have conducted drills simulating the infiltration of an enemy facility amid tensions with North Korea over its unilaterally set year-end deadline. Meanwhile, a satellite has captured images of the construction of a new structure in a missile-related factory.

The drills, recently conducted by South Korean and U.S. special forces troops, involved soldiers raiding a facility and leading out a man with his hands tied behind his back, according to photos. The exercise was described as a joint regular close-quarters battle training and took place at a U.S. military base in the southwestern South Korean city of Gunsan.
