The two-day command post exercise will begin on December 11 and focus on improving crisis management and wartime transition capabilities, according to South Korea's 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 "punish" any North Korean provocations immediately 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 national security advisers from 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.
