South Korea's navy Thursday organized a large anti-submarine training, his first show of power as tension with North Korea flared over the sinking of a warship of Seoul.
About 10 warships, including a 3000-ton destroyer and three patrol boats participate in a day to live, Yonhap news agency quote military officials as saying. Defense Ministry refused to provide instant details.
The work out was held off the west coast town of Taean long way south of the doubtful Yellow Sea border where Cheonan corvette was torn in two by a North Korean torpedo March 26.
The work out involved testing of anti-submarine depth bombs and military armaments, military officials said.
Tensions have risen since a multinational study concluded last week that a North Korean submarine fired a torpedo sunk Cheonan heavy with the loss of 46 crew member.
South Monday announces several military, diplomatic and economic measures, counting a trade stop to punish the North.
Among the armed measures, Seoul resume border loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts, which was halted six years ago? U.S. and South will soon hold a joint anti-submarine training.
The South has banned the North's merchant ships to use its fairways. A destroyer was stationed in the Jeju Strait off the southern coast to return the Craft.
The North, who denies involvement in the sinking, has warned against war in reply to any attempt to chastise it.
