South Korean forces have carried out a drill aimed at repelling foreign landings on disputed islands at the heart of a row with Japan.
The drill took place at an outcrop known in South Korea as Dokdo and in Japan as Takeshima.
The long-running row over the islands has affected ties between the two nations.

Known as Dokdo (Solitary islands) in Korea, Takeshima (Bamboo islands) in Japan
Also known as Liancourt rocks
Claimed by Japan and South Korea, but occupied by South Korea since 1954
Just 230,000 sq m in size
But surrounding waters valuable for their fishing

"It is a regular drill aimed at repealing non-military forces that approach Dokdo via a sea or air route," an unidentified military official told Yonhap news agency.
A defence ministry official said that it was important to show the area "would be defended by South Korea, in whatever circumstances".
Tensions over the disputed islands between South Korea and Japan have worsened recently, reports the BBC's Lucy Williamson in Seoul, with both sides taking their conflict online and posting videos supporting their claims on the YouTube website.
The islets have become a lightening rod for unresolved historical issues between the two neighbours - a symbol, say many Koreans, of Japan's lack of remorse for its colonial past, our correspondent adds.

There was no immediate response from Japan to the drill, which is not the first to be held in the area.
