Südkorea startet großes Manöver 
Wenige Tage nach der Entspannung in einem schweren Konflikt zwischen Nord- und Südkorea haben Truppenverbände der USA und Südkoreas das größte je abgehaltene gemeinsame Militärmanöver gestartet. Bei dem Manöver werde eine nordkoreanische „Provokation" simuliert, der eine Eskalation folge, teilte das südkoreanische Verteidigungsministerium mit.
