N. Korea stages live-fire drills amid tensions
None
North Korean troops have been conducting live-fire drills near an island that was the site of a deadly artillery exchange less than two years ago. Meanwhile their government is criticizing the US and South Korea for conducting their own joint military exercises.
The Associated Press was among the media allowed to watch the drills along North Korea's southwestern coast this week. The drills are close to an island, in disputed waters, where four South Koreans were killed in 2010. (AP)
