BEIJING, 28 Rajab,1437 AH, 05 May,2016 , SPA -- China and Russia will hold their first joint computer-assisted anti-missile drill, state media said on Thursday, after the United States and South Korea discussed an anti-missile defence system for the South to counter threats from North Korea, Reuters reported. The Chinese and Russian foreign ministers last week urged Washington and Seoul to drop the proposed deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, following North Korea's fourth nuclear bomb on Jan. 6 and subsequent missile tests. The China-Russia drill will be held this month at a Russian military research centre, the official English-language China Daily newspaper said, citing China's defence ministry. -- SPA 10:17 LOCAL TIME 07:17 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
