SEOUL - South Korea's military scrambled naval vessels to the western waters near the disputed maritime border with North Korea late Friday after an explosion ripped a hole in the bottom of a military ship, officials and news reports said.

South Korea's YTN TV network said the government was investigating whether the sinking was due to a torpedo attack by the North.

US and S Korea begin war games

Thousands of troops from the US and South Korea have begun 10 days of joint military exercises, despite threats of reprisals from North Korea which has denounced the annual drill as a rehearsal for invasion.

Some 18,000 American and an undisclosed number of South Korean troops began the exercise on Monday, military officials from both sides said.

Kim Yong-kyu, a US military spokesman, said the exercises are aimed at rehearsing the deployment of US reinforcements in the event of an emergency on the Korean peninsula.

The US and South Korea say the exercises – which include live-firing by US Marines, aerial attack drills and urban warfare training – are purely defensive.

But the North says the exercises, dubbed Key Resolve/Foal Eagle, amount to a preparation for invasion and has demanded they be cancelled.

North Korea's military on Sunday warned that it would bolster its nuclear capability and break off dialogue with the US in response to the drills.

Attack threat

It said it would use unspecified "merciless physical force" to cope with them, and added that it was no longer bound by the armistice that ended the 1950-53 Korean War.

"[Troops are urged] to mercilessly crush the aggressors should they intrude into the inviolable sky, land and sea of the DPRK (North Korea) even 0.001 mm"

Supreme command of North Korea's military

On Monday the supreme command of the military, headed by North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, said troops have been alerted to repel any attack and "blow up the citadel of the aggressors" if ordered.

It called for regulars and reservists to undergo training "to mercilessly crush the aggressors should they intrude into the inviolable sky, land and sea of the DPRK (North Korea) even 0.001 mm".

The US has about 28,500 troops stationed in South Korea.

South Korean officials said there were no reports of unusual military movements in the North and crossings at the heavily fortified border between North and South were going ahead smoothly.

During last year's exercise the North cut off access three times to a jointly-run industrial park at Kaesong just north of the border.

Anti-war protest

As the exercises began on Monday a small group of anti-war and pro-North Korea protesters gathered near a US military base in Seongnam, about 28km south of Seoul.

About 20 activists shouting "Stop exercise aimed at attacking North Korea!" were watched closely by riot police.

"The exercise, which is obviously not for defence but for attack, is against the current peaceful situation," said You Young-jae, the protest leader.

"South Korea and the US should stop the drill which is practicing to attack North Korea."

Koh Yu-hwan, a professor at Seoul's Dongguk University, however dismissed North Korea's reaction to the military exercises as rhetoric.

"The North's strong protest is not unusual as it also protested during previous drills," he told The Associated Press.

International pressure

The training comes as the US and other regional governments are pushing for the North to rejoin international disarmament talks on ending its atomic weapons programme in return for aid.

Pyongyang withdrew from six-nation talks and conducted its second nuclear test last year, drawing a tightening of UN sanctions.

It has demanded a lifting of the sanctions and peace negotiations with the US on formally ending the Korean War before it returns to the talks.

But the US and South Korea responded that the North must first return to the disarmament talks and make progress on denuclearisation.

The international sanctions have dealt a blow to the North's already impoverished economy, and a botched currency move late last year has sparked inflation and rare civil unrest.

The two Koreas are technically still at war because their 1950-53 conflict ended with an armistice and not a peace treaty.

The United State military has a significant presence in South Korea, designed as a conflict trip wire that would immediately bring the United States into war with North Korea if they act agressively against South Korea.

The U.S. has aproximately 29,000 troops in South Korea, present since the Korean War. The alliance between the two countries binds the U.S. to defending South Korea if they are attacked.
