South Korean, US and British Marines have staged combined “high-intensity” airborne and maritime infiltration drills in a southeastern coastal area, South Korea’s Marine Corps said Thursday.

The drills took place in Pohang, 272 kilometers southeast of Seoul, on Wednesday and Thursday, as part of the ongoing South Korea-US Ssangyong amphibious landing exercise that runs through April 3, Yonhap News Agency reported.

The exercise mobilized reconnaissance units from the South’s 1st Marine Division and the US Marine Corps, as well as troops from Britain’s Royal Marines Commandos. It marked British troops’ first participation in the exercise.
