South Korea's military has staged anti-terrorism drills at the host venue for the Pyeongchang Winter games and other Olympic facilities.
The exercise simulated a scenario in which a bomb had been planted. Dogs and drones were used in the search operation. Officials say they'll do their utmost to safeguard the games, which begin on February 9th. In the lead-up to the games, the Olympic flame is touring the country. On Friday, it passed through the city of Paju, which carries some added meaning in light of recent political developments.
