US naval ships has started new set of military exercises in South Korea on Sunday. North Korea warned that it could worsen the war in the region. US vessels together with the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier began the drills. The tension between South and North Korea grew after South Korea's investigators accused North Korea of sinking South Korean corvette Cheonan. South Korea's military is accused of firing a torpedo into the corvette, which killed 46 men. Last week, the United States imposed new set of sanctions on North Korea. The states froze assets of Pyongyang's leaders as they were earned through unlawful activities. Some individuals were also banned from traveling.! China is strongly against the drills and criticized the use of new military equipment in the Yellow Sea. On Saturday, National Defence Commission of North Korea launched war against the United States and South Korea at any time necessary as a response to the drills. More than 200 aircraft will be involved in the drills. Four Japanese military officers will be present on the carrier, their duty will be to observe the drills. Pyongyang was always strictly against any military exercises of its neighbor. The United States are prepared to stand provocations from North Korea, which they expect to come in coming months. North Korea wants to resume talks with South Korea, the United States, Japan, Russia and China over nuclear disarmament that it had boycotted since 2008. Analysts say that Korea wants to cover the incident with sank Cheonan and get lucrative aid through negotiations.
