A US Navy destroyer arrived at a naval base on the southern island of Jeju on Tuesday for a replenishment purpose, the South Korean Navy said.
The USS Higgins Arleigh Burke-class destroyer entered the base to replenish supplies and for crewmembers’ rest, a day after South Korea and the US began their annual combined Freedom Shield exercise for an 11-day run, Yonhap news agency reported.
A South Korean Navy official said the warship’s arrival is unrelated to the exercise and there are no plans for joint drills with the warship during its stay on Jeju.
