Marine Corps Conducts Live-Fire Maritime Drill in West Sea, Fires Over 200 Rounds Including K-9s
The Republic of Korea Marine Corps conducted a live-fire maritime exercise near the Northern Limit Line (NLL) on June 25.
The Northwest Islands Defense Command announced that the 6th Brigade and the Yeonpyeong Unit conducted the maritime live-fire training on the same day. The exercise involved approximately 200 rounds fired using unit-assigned weaponry, including K-9 self-propelled howitzers.
The Marine Corps explained that this exercise is a routine, regularly scheduled drill conducted on a quarterly basis. Previously, after the launch of the People’s Sovereignty Government, there was speculation that live-fire drills in border areas might be suspended following the halt of loudspeaker broadcasts toward North Korea on June 11. However, the training proceeded as planned.
