Allies Begin Upgrading Defenses in Korea Amid Tense North Threat
In Seoul on June 22, Allied forces moved to bolster Korea's defenses as North Korean forces loom. U S jet fighters, capable of countering most air threats, prepare for shipment from Japan to the Republic of Korea next week. The ROK army halted leaves for 700000 troops and went on high alert after UN command signaled rearmament under the 1953 armistice, though officials said the alert was not targeted at a specific move by the North. Public sentiment in Seoul favored modernization of defenses and the alliance’s plans to rearm with up to date weapons. Observers foresee further steps in the tense standoff.
