SEOUL: The US and South Korean military Tuesday practiced attacks on potential seaborne North Korean infiltrators on the third day of a major naval exercise designed to deter the communist state. The allies are staging the war games in response to what they say was a deadly North Korean submarine attack on a South Korean warship. They have shrugged off the North's threats of possible nuclear retaliation for the drill. About 20 ships including the 97,000-ton carrier USS George Washington, 200 aircraft including four F-22 Raptor stealth fighters and 8,000 personnel are taking part in the largest joint exercise for years. Tuesday's drills will focus on destroying infiltrating enemy submarines, semi-submersible high-speed boats or seaborne special forces, a spokesman for Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff told foreign news agency.
