South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported that the military exercises will continue until 8 August 2024. The Maneuvers will be hosted by an air base in Suwon, south of the capital Seoul, and will involve the participation of the US Marine Corps' F/A-18C/D and F-35B fighters, in addition to the South Korean F-16, FA-50, KA-1 and F-15K aircraft.
