PLA Navy carrying out four-day operation as the United States and its allies conduct similar exercises in the region
China is conducting a live-fire exercise off the North Korean peninsula as concerns over the security situation on the peninsula rise.
The drill in the Bohai Sea was due to start on Thursday afternoon and will last until 4pm next Monday, according to a notice issued by the Liaoning Maritime Safety Administration.
The administration marked out a rectangular prohibited area in the waters west of Lushun in Liaoning province, an important naval base for the People’s Liberation Army’s North Sea Fleet, which is responsible for defending the Bohai and Yellow Seas off the Korean peninsula.
In response to North Korea’s rapidly increasing missile threat, the United States, South Korea and Japan are also currently holding a joint exercise in the East China Sea.
