SOUTH KOREA (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - North Korea is apparently making good on some of its recent threats.

Some 10,000 South Korean troops and 3,500 American troops began annual military drills on the border Monday.

North Korea has called the exercises provocative and even threatened to launch a nuclear attack on the U.S.
