South Korea says it will hold its largest-ever joint air drill with the United States.

South Korea military said in a statement on Thursday that more than one hundred aircraft and 1,400 troops are involved in the Max Thunder military exercise, which is to be held from April 11 until April 25.

“The combined air forces will strengthen their battle readiness under the current situation when tension rises over the Korean peninsula,” the statement said.

The maneuver will focus on “practical scenarios” involving precision attacks on enemies or supply drop missions for troops infiltrating enemy territory.

North Korea accuses the United States of fueling tensions on the Korean Peninsula by its war games with South Korea.

Tensions have recently been on the rise between the two Koreas as Pyongyang accuses its southern neighbor and Washington of “rehearsing for an invasion.”

Washington and Seoul recently held a 12-day amphibious military exercise after North Korea launched two mid-range ballistic missiles in March and said it might conduct a new nuclear test.

North Korean official KCNA news agency reported on April 2 that North Korea leader Kim Jong-un warned that the situation on the Korean Peninsula was “very grave” and vowed to “thoroughly crush” a US-engineered policy of hostility.
