US EditionUS, South Korea and Japan open joint air and naval exercise
- On September 15, 2025, South Korea, the United States, and Japan commenced the five-day Freedom Edge exercise, a trilateral operation conducted in multiple domains near Jeju Island in international waters.
- The exercise, which takes place after earlier rounds held during the middle and later months of the previous year, seeks to enhance trilateral security cooperation amid ongoing military threats from North Korea.
- Freedom Edge includes ballistic missile defense training, air defense exercises, medical evacuations, and maritime interdiction, featuring joint participation of warships and U.S. aerial assets.
- Kim Yo Jong, North Korea's influential leader's sister, condemned the drills as a "reckless show of strength" that risks unfavorable consequences, while North Korea criticized the exercise as strengthening a U.S.-led military bloc.
- The exercise demonstrates the three countries' commitment to collective peace and aims to maintain "solid and stable" interoperability amid persistent regional tensions.
