WorldSouth Korean military says joint exercise with US to end earlier

South Korea’s military says the Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise with the United States will end on Friday, about a week ahead of schedule. After emergency consultations, the allies will conduct only the defensive phase, while the planned counteroffensive training will be rearranged later. The cutback has raised concerns about the planned transfer of wartime operational control to South Korea.
