Washington, March 7 (RHC)-- About 2,100 U.S. troops have arrived in South Korea to hold a joint military exercise that is likely to stir more tensions in the Korean peninsula, after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ordered his military forces to prepare for using nuclear weapons.

The annual exercises include two parallel annual drills -- code-named Key Resolve and Foal Eagle -- and involve over 300,000 South Korean troops and 15,000 U.S. personnel. Pyongyang has condemned the joint military exercises between Washington and Seoul as rehearsals for war against North Korea.
