美韩军队举行联合登陆演习

U.S. and South Korean forces held a landing drill Monday near the port city of Pohang, as part of the annual Foal Eagle military exercise.

美国和韩国军队星期一在港口城市釜山附近举行登陆演习。这是代号为“雏鹰”的美韩年度联合军演的组成部分。

South Korean military officials said the drill mobilized about 7,600 navy and marine personnel and 30 naval vessels, as well as several landing crafts.

韩国军方官员说，参加军演的有大约7600名海军和海军陆战队军人以及30艘舰艇和几艘登陆艇。

Earlier this month, North Korea fired two short-range missiles off its east coast, hours before the joint military exercises began.

本月早些时候，朝鲜在美韩联合军演开始之前向其东部沿海发射了两枚短程导弹。

North Korea regularly protests the joint drills, which it calls a rehearsal for invasion.

朝鲜照例对美韩联合军演表示抗议，声称军演对为入侵做准备。

Foal Eagle runs through April 24.

“雏鹰”军演将持续到4月24号。
