                      South Korea, US begin Naval Exercise

   South Korea and the United States have begun two days of joint naval
   exercises off the east coast, despite strong objections from North
   Korea.
   Officials said the exercise began when the USS Nimitz strike group left
   the southern port of Busan early Monday. The U.S. Navy says the
   carrier`s strike group includes guided missile destroyers and a guided
   missile cruiser.
   North Korea called the latest exercise a grave military provocation
   that would push the peninsula to the brink of nuclear war.
   Pyongyang has long denounced joint exercises in the South as a
   rehearsal for an invasion of the North.
