BEIJING, March 13 (Xinhuanet) -- South Korea and the US have continued their annual military drills despite threats from the DPRK.

South Korean soldiers have been practising their military readiness, firing self-propelled artillery. The 11-day US-South Korean joint military drills started on Monday, with 10,000 South Korean and about 3,000 US troops taking part.

According to South Korean media, the drills are held annually, and this year, the "Key Resolve" drill will rehearse different scenarios for a possible conflict on the Korean Peninsula using computer-simulated exercises.

The drills coincide with two months of separate US-South Korean field exercises that started on Monday.
