North Korea has issued a warning as the US carries out military tests
South Korea has also been condemned by Pyongyang for its part in the 10-day military exercise, with North Korea labelling it as “reckless behaviour driving the situation into the uncontrollable phase of a nuclear war".
Around 17,500 US troops are expected to take part in the exercise, yet most will only be involved in the computer simulation aspect.
State media in the hermit nation said: "The joint exercise is the most explicit expression of hostility against us, and no one can guarantee that the exercise won't evolve into actual fighting."
It added: “If the United States is lost in a fantasy that war on the peninsula is at somebody else's doorstep far away from them across the Pacific, it is far more mistaken than ever."
