　　South Korean officials say the North has assembled troops, ships and
aircraft for what is expected to be a large-scale military exercise.Officials,

MiG-21 fighter jets and about 20 naval vessels have assembled since last week at
two bases in the Yellow Sea. Other sources told VOA a simulated coastal landing
