SEOUL: US Army Apache attack helicopters based in South Korea are holding live-fire drills with rockets and guns for the first time since 2019, as the allies step up military exercises amid tension with North Korea.
"Crews are qualifying during both day and night on the AGM-114 Hellfire missile, Hydra 70 rocket and 30mm canon," the division said on Twitter. It was unclear what decision led to resumption of the Apache drills, and neither US Forces Korea nor South Korea's defence ministry immediately responded to requests for comment.
