The top
American general in
South Korea said Friday he is fairly certain
North Korea has not been spared by the COVID-19 outbreak that began in neighboring
China, although the North has not publicly confirmed a single case.
Speaking by video-teleconference from his headquarters in South Korea, Army Gen. Robert Abrams told reporters at the
Pentagon that the North had halted military training for a month — including a 24-day hiatus in military flying — but has since resumed.
Earlier this week, North Korean state media reported that North Korean leader
Kim Jong Un supervised his second live-fire artillery exercise in a week.
