The US-Army Apache attack helicopters, stationed in South Korea have had their first live military drills including rockets and guns since 2019. The training resumed along the border to North Korea. The drill had been canceled for years because the people living nearby complained about the noise and safety issues. The US 2nd Division Infantry said on Twitter: "Crews are qualifying during both day and night on the AGM-114 Hellfire missile, Hydra 70 rocket and 30mm canon." The drills are also used to scare off North Korea, following the rising tensions with South Korea's neighbor. The lack of live military training had been a problem, said US-Government Officials. "They were less ready by the time they left (South Korea) than when they arrived," said a former senior US-Defense Official.
