The US and south Korean military held a joint military exercise on Monday near the city of Pohang. A total of 7,600 personnel from the two countries participated in the landing exercise, including Marine and Navy forces. Around thirty Naval vessels took part, including a 14,500-ton Dokdo-class amphibious assault ship from South Korea and the 41,000-ton USS BonHomme Richard and the 25,000-ton USS Green Bay from the American Navy. The landing exercise was a part of the ongoing annual South Korea-US Foal Eagle joint exercises, which North Korea has regularly criticised as a preparation for a northward invasion.
