South Korean officials said on December 8 that the country's military will conduct a computer-simulated Taegeuk exercise, as Seoul seeks to respond to military threats from North Korea.

The two-day command post exercise will begin on December 11 and focus on improving crisis management and wartime transition capabilities, according to the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).
The exercise will take place under scenarios reflecting the North Korean nuclear and missile threat, as well as other scenarios illustrated in recent conflicts, such as the Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts.
The JCS pledged to "immediately punish" any provocations by North Korea through the drill, as Pyongyang scrapped a 2018 inter-Korean military agreement aimed at reducing tensions along the border.
On the same day, the South Korean Presidential Office announced that the national security advisers of the United States, South Korea and Japan will meet in Seoul from December 8-9 to discuss North Korea and other global issues, in the context that the three countries condemned North Korea's first military spy satellite launch last month as a violation of the United Nations Security Council resolution.
