The U.S. nuclear-powered submarine has been anchored in the South Korean naval base since Thursday to attend joint drills with the South next week, local media reported. North Korea, which detonated nuclear explosions in 2006 and 2009, vowed last week to conduct more rocket and nuclear tests after the U.N. Security Council censured it for a December long-range missile launch. REUTERS/Newsis (SOUTH KOREA - Tags: MILITARY) NO SALES. NO ARCHIVES. FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY.

Vor dem Hintergrund der jüngsten Atomtestdrohung Nordkoreas haben die USA und Südkorea am Montag ein gemeinsames See-Manöver begonnen. Die auf drei Tage angesetzte Militärübung findet im Japanischen Meer nahe der südkoreanischen Hafenstadt Pohang statt. An der Übung ist nach Angaben aus Seoul auch ein Atom-U-Boot der USA beteiligt.

Dem südkoreanischen Militär zufolge dient die Übung dazu, die gemeinsame Einsatzbereitschaft vor dem Hintergrund potenzieller Gefahren aus Pjöngjang zu testen. Sie sei jedoch bereits vor dem von Nordkorea angekündigten erneuten Atomtest geplant gewesen. Das Land reagierte damit auf die im UNO-Sicherheitsrat verhängten Sanktionen wegen des Tests einer Langstreckenrakete im Dezember.
