Same 2 Chinese nationals caught taking photographs near Pyeongtaek US military base again
Two Chinese nationals were caught taking photographs near a US military base in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, on Wednesday, just two days after being questioned and released for the same activity, officials said. On Monday, the pair had been stopped for photographing military facilities and aircraft near Osan Air Base. At the time, police had said there was no evidence of 'anti-state activity' and released them without charges. The same decision was made when the duo were caught taking photographs again Wednesday. Police said no laws had been violated, as the photographs they took showed aircraft in flight, an act that is not illegal. According to the Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency, the US military reported around 11 a.m. Wednesday that the two were photographing aircraft near Osan Air Base, also known as K-55. Officers were dispatched and detained the two on suspicion of violating the Military Facility Protection Act. Authorities confirmed that the individuals were the same ones involved in Monday's incident. After an eight-hour joint investigation with the National Intelligence Service and the Defense Counterintelligence Command, police had decided not to press charges, again citing a lack of evidence of anti-state activity. Officials declined to provide further details, citing security concerns.

Marine Corps take part in major multinational drills in Thailand
South Korean Marines have joined a major US-led multinational exercise in Thailand as part of efforts to enhance their coordination with forces from other countries, officials said Tuesday. The annual Cobra Gold exercise kicked off last Tuesday for an 11-day run, involving more than 200 South Korean Marines and various military hardware, including K-55 self-propelled howitzers, according to the Marine Corps. Alongside US, Thai, Indonesian, Japanese, Malaysian and Singaporean forces, South Korean troops staged various drills, including a combined amphibious landing exercise at a beach in southern Thailand from Saturday to Monday. Some 600 South Korean, US and Thai Marines took part in the amphibious landing drills that mobilized amphibious assault vehicles and landing craft, it said. The exercise also involved training in space operations, which South Korean troops fully participated in for the first time this year after taking part as observers last year. Launched in 1982, Cobra Gold focuses on training multinational forces for a range of procedures aimed at stabilizing a region embroiled in a virtual armed conflict. South Korea has formally taken part in the exercise since 2010 after attending it as an observer from 2002 to 2009. (Yonhap)
