North Korea may be growing its own mammal special warfare operation.

U.S. Forces Korea Gen. Robert Abrams said the command is looking for other options.

The account comes from CNN's review of Bob Woodward's upcoming book, "Rage."

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis addressed the peace talks Friday at the Pentagon.

North Korea said U.S. pressure had nothing to do with its peace overtures to the U.S. and South Korea.

It is unclear whether U.S. aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines would participate as they have in previous war games.

North Korea hasn't reported any cases of the coronavirus, formally known as COVID-19, which has spread worldwide.

Small-scale exercises with South Korea have kept U.S. troops ready for conflict with North Korea, defense officials say.

The action followed reports that North Korea had warned of a possible missile launch or nuclear test for late December.

Tensions on the Korean peninsula are building once again.
