It said U.S. and South Korean fighter jets and helicopters will also take part in the training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would be the first such joint drills involving a U.S. aircraft carrier near the peninsula since 2017, when the U.S. sent three aircraft carriers including the Reagan for naval drills with South Korea in response to North Korean nuclear and missile tests. The allies had since cancelled or downsized some of their regular drills to support now-dormant talks on North Korea\u2019s nuclear program or guard against COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The North Korean missile fired on Sunday flew about 370 miles at the maximum altitude of 37 miles before falling into the waters off the North\u2019s east coast, according to South Korean estimates. Some experts say North Korea might have launched a nuclear-capable, highly maneuverable ballistic missile and that its 600 kilometer-flight had enough range to strike a southeastern South Korean port where the Reagan was previously docked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Korea has performed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2022\/03\/10\/north-korea-testing-new-icbms-us-says-warns-more-coming\/\" target=\"_blank\">record number of missile tests this year<\/a> as it steadfastly rebuffs U.S. and South Korean calls to resume the nuclear diplomacy. North Korea has said it won\u2019t return to talks unless the United States drops its hostile policies in an apparent reference to U.S.-South Korean military drills and U.S.-led economic sanctions on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this month, North Korea adopted a new law that authorized the preemptive use of nuclear weapons in some situations, a development that showed its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2022\/09\/09\/north-korea-says-it-will-never-give-up-nukes-to-counter-us\/\" target=\"_blank\">increasingly aggressive nuclear doctrine<\/a>. Some analysts say North Korea would eventually aim for arms control negotiations with the United States to get sanctions relief and other concessions in return for a partial surrender of its nuclear capability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The combined training started one day after North Korea test-fired a short-range ballistic missile in a possible response to the
