Large queues of vessels are forming off the coast of South Korea as the country prepares for a possible conflict with North Korea.
North Korea has been threatening the US with military action in recent days, and the US has responded by deploying additional military forces to the region.
The queues of vessels are a sign of the increased military presence in the area, with many ships and aircraft carriers arriving in the region to support the US military effort.
South Korea has also been preparing for a possible conflict by placing military units on high alert and conducting joint exercises with the US military.
The situation remains tense, but it appears that the queues of vessels are a sign of the increased military activity in the region.
“We are prepared to defend ourselves against any threat from North Korea,” said a spokesperson for the South Korean military.
Resuming a military build-up in the area could escalate a standoff between the two nations which have been locked in a cycle of threats and retaliatory measures for months.
North Korea's military has threatened to attack the US territory of Guam, which is home to a major US military base.
The US has responded by deploying additional military forces to the region, including an aircraft carrier and B-1 bombers.
South Korea has also been preparing for a possible conflict by placing military units on high alert and conducting joint exercises with the US military.
AUTHOR'S RESUME: Tensions between North and South Korea remain high, with both sides engaged in a cycle of threats and retaliatory measures.
