    Южная Корея начала «оборонительные» маневры в Желтом море

    Вооруженные силы Южной Кореи начали морские учения в Желтом море, призванные усилить оборонный потенциал национальных ВМС после затопления корвета «Чхонан», сообщает РИА «Новости». Учения продлятся до 9 августа, в маневрах будут задействованы около 20 судов, включая десантный корабль и эскадренный миноносец, а также 50 сверхзвуковых истребителей.

    Предполагается, что в ходе учений будут проведены подводные стрельбы рядом с пограничным островом Пэннендо, неподалеку от которого 26 марта затонул «Чхонан». Южная Корея и США утверждают, что корвет был потоплен северокорейской торпедой.

    По словам южнокорейских военных, учения носят «оборонительный» характер и должны подготовить армию к действиям в условиях непредвиденных обстоятельств или провокаций.

    Между тем Пхеньян во 3 августа заявил, что принял решение нанести «сильный физический контрудар» в ответ на проведение учений в спорных пограничных районах Желтого моря.

    У восточного побережья Корейского полуострова в Японском море 25-28 июля прошли совместные американско-южнокорейские военные учения, проведению которых КНДР также грозила «физическим ответом». Сначала учения были запланированы на 8-11 июня, однако были отложены в связи с тем, что стороны решили дождаться резолюции Совбеза ООН по причинам гибели южнокорейского корвета «Чхонан».

    В заявлении СБ ООН от 9 июля, согласованном всеми 15 членами совета, выражалась «глубокая озабоченность» по поводу результатов расследования Южной Кореи, которое пришло к выводу, что северокорейская торпеда потопила корабль. В заявлении также отмечалось, что члены Совбеза не обвиняют КНДР в причастности к инциденту.
