North Korean state media says the drills violate agreements Pyongyang has with the U.S. and South Korea.
The allies hold annual spring war games that involve thousands of troops.
But the current week-long exercise is much smaller than previous years.
President Trump agreed to shrink the military drills apparently to keep room open for talks with North Korea.
He's also said the drills are too expensive.
Pyongyang has always criticized the drills as a threat of invasion.
Seoul responded to the North, saying the new drills are only defensive in nature.
