S. Korea to conduct firing drill in east coast

THE South Korea Defense Ministry has announce to hold naval firing exercises off the east coast from today through Friday that will include six naval ships and Lynx anti-submarine helicopters, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported today.

The exercise will be held about 100 kilometers south of the eastern sea maritime border with the North, a Navy official was quoted as saying. Nearby Army units will be on heightened vigilance during the drill, the report said.

On Monday, South Korea conducted a live-fire exercise at Yeonpyeong Island in a disputed region that had been feared to lead to a fresh clash between South Korea and North Korea.
