The joint exercise will involve two US Aegis destroyers,
including the 9,200-ton USS Mustin (DDG 89), which arrived at the port
city of Donghae on Sunday, and Seoul's 3,200-ton Aegis destroyer called
Gwanggaeto the Great-class destroyer, a submarine and two Lynx helicopters,
the agency said, citing an anonymous South Korean naval officer.
The planned drills
come amid simmering tensions on the Korean Peninsula after the US rejected
an offer from North Korea last week that it would halt its nuclear test
should Seoul and Washington temporarily shelve their plan for joint
military exercises this year, the agency added.
