The warmongers said that the projected joint military exercises would be staged under a plan for increasing the number of joint maritime drills after the Cheonan warship sinking case.

It was reported that the Aegis destroyer, sea-patrol plane, submarine and others of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces and puppet army would be involved in the military exercises for detecting and attacking the DPRK's submarines.

The U.S. and puppet warmongers are frantically intensifying the war drills for invading the DPRK in a bid to extend the "May 24 measures" for confrontation taken under the pretext of the said case.
