South Korea and the United States effectively completed their annual joint military drill on Thursday, South Korea's Ministry of National Defense said Thursday.

Starting from last Monday, over 25,000 U.S. troops, a nuclear-powered U.S. aircraft carrier and tens of thousands of South Korean troops were engaged in the two nation's Key Resolve and Foal Eagle exercise.

The allies have successfully ended their scheduled training and will formally terminate their drill with an evaluation on Friday, the ministry said.
