The navy and air force man oeuvres involve 20 ships, 200 planes and 8,000 US and South Korean personnel. Washington and Seoul say they want to send a clear signal to the North following the sinking of a South Korean warship in March. An international investigation said a North Korean torpedo sank the ship. However, the claim has been angrily denied by Pyongyang. On Saturday, North Korea threatened to use its nuclear deterrent in a retaliatory, "sacred war" in response to the exercise. Source: Internet/az/1121 hrs |
