(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - March 15, 2012: Howitzers from the South Korean army participate in a live-firing drill during the annual Foal Eagle Exercise, a joint maneuver between South Korea and the U.S. , near Rodriguez Range in Pocheon, south of the demilitarized zone that divides the two Koreas, March 15, 2012.
According to a U.S. Army officer, the joint military exercise enhances the alliance's ability to defend the Republic of Korea, to protect the region and maintain sustainability of the Korean peninsula.
North Korea has continued to criticise the military drills and threatened "sacred war" against the South, just days after it agreed with the U.S. to suspend major parts of its nuclear programme and allow back international nuclear inspectors. (Photo - Reuters)
