Amid the ever-increasing nuclear tensions with North Korea, the South Korean military has now disclosed a "Kill Web" concept. With Pyongyang's continued expansion of nuclear and missile capabilities, Seoul is pursuing a rapid and strategic plan to counter it.

At the start of this month, the South Korean Ministry announced the plan and said that it will use the "Kill Web" concept to eradicate threats from Pyongyang's advancing nuclear and missile capabilities even at their pre-launch stage, Eur Asian Times reported.

For those who are unaware, the "Kill Web" concept aims to create a rapid retaliation to any North Korean aggression against South Korea.

Yoon Suk yeol government introduced the plan as a fundamental component of Military Innovations 4.0. The plan will use the latest AI techniques to make sure that the South Korean Army can win a war with minimum fatalities in the shortest period.

The allies had cancelled or scaled back some of their regular drills since 2018 to support now-dormant diplomacy with North Korea and guard against the Covid-19 pandemic. But they have been restoring their exercises after North Korea last year conducted a record number of missile tests and openly threatened to use its nuclear weapons in potential conflicts with its rivals.
