(NSI News Source Info) SEOUL, South Korea - June 11, 2009: South Korean marines take part in an exercise on the South Korea-controlled island of Yeonpyeong near the Yellow Sea disputed with North Korea on June 11, 2009.

North Korea's nuclear and missile tests are linked to the succession plans of its "inhumane" regime, South Korea's defence chief said in comments reported on June 10.

Defence Minister Lee Sang-Hee warned the military to stay on guard and "sternly punish" any border provocation, in a message in an army-run newspaper confirmed by his ministry.
