U.S. and South Korean marines participate in a joint landing operation drill in Pohang, about 370 km (230 miles) southeast of Seoul, April 26, 2013. The drill is part of the two countries' annual military training called Foal Eagle, which began on March 1 and runs until April 30. Tension has been fuelled by North Korean anger over the imposition of U.N. sanctions after its last nuclear arms test in February. The two Koreas have been technically in a state of war since a truce that ended their 1950-53 conflict. REUTERS/Lee Jae-Won (SOUTH KOREA - Tags: MILITARY POLITICS) - GM1E94Q10ZK01
