![Troops from the Korean Army Special Warfare Command participate in a counterterrorism exercise at Gocheok Sky Dome in western Seoul on Tuesday. The drill, based on a scenario of armed terrorists taking hostages at the stadium, also involved personnel from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's special operations unit. It is part of a series of on-field drills in the ongoing Freedom Shield exercise between South Korea and the United States, which began Monday for an 11-day run. It comes ahead of matches between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres, the first Major League Baseball regular season games in Korea, to be held at the dome on March 20 and 21.
