South Korea on alert for North Korea provocations after impeachment decision

South Korea's military is keeping a close watch of the heavily fortified border between North and South following a parliamentary decision to impeach President Park Geun-hye.


Defense Minister Han Min-koo instructed the army to strengthen surveillance and alertness immediately after the impeachment proceedings, Yonhap reported Friday.

According to Yonhap, U.S. and South Korea forces have stepped up surveillance with the joint deployments of the U.S. U-2 high-speed reconnaissance aircraft, the surveillance and target attack radar system, or JSTARS, and the Global Hawk, or unmanned surveillance aircraft.
