THE armed forces of the U.S and South Korean have conducted explosive joint landing drills amid growing world tensions.
Amphibious armoured vehicles of the two countries, along with other naval ships, aircraft and helicopters joined the Ssangyong exercise off the coast of the eastern city of Pohang, which kicked off on March 20 and will last until April 3.
The exercises follow the docking of a U.S. carrier strike group led by the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz at South Korea's Busan naval base on Tuesday (March 28) morning after joint drills. It was the carrier's first visit in nearly six years and coincides with the 70th anniversary of the U.S.-South Korea alliance.
Also on Tuesday, North Korea unveiled new, smaller nuclear warheads and vowed to produce more weapons-grade nuclear material to expand its arsenal, state news agency KCNA reported. Pyongyang has accused the United States and South Korea of rehearsing an invasion with their military exercises.
