Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- The U.S. Navy is moving a
warship and a sea-based radar platform closer to the North Korean coast
in order to monitor that country's military moves, including possible
new missile launches, a Defense Department official said Monday.
The decision to move at
least one ship, the destroyer USS John S. McCain, and the oil rig-like
SBX-1 are the first of what may be other naval deployments, CNN has
learned.
They follow weeks of belligerent rhetoric from North Korea, including threats to use nuclear weapons.
The United States and
South Korea have gone ahead with joint military exercises despite the
threats, and South Korea warned Monday that any provocative moves from
North Korea would trigger a strong response "without any political
considerations."
The United States has
bolstered the exercises with shows of force that included overflights by
nuclear-capable B-2 stealth bombers, massive Cold War-era B-52s and
F-22 Raptor stealth fighters.
"If there is any
provocation against South Korea and its people, there should be a strong
response in initial combat without any political considerations," South
Korean President Park Geun-hye said at a meeting with senior defense
and security officials, according to her office.
Her comments came after North Korea rattled off fresh volleys of bombastic rhetoric over the weekend,
declaring that it had entered a "state of war" with the South and labeling the U.S. mainland a "boiled pumpkin," vulnerable to attack.
The two Koreas are technically still at war after their conflict in the early 1950s ended in a truce not a peace treaty.
The secretive regime of
Kim Jong Un has delivered a steady stream of verbal attacks against
South Korea and the United States in recent weeks, including the threat
of a nuclear strike.
It has lashed out at the
U.S.-South Korean military drills currently under way and at the
tougher U.N. sanctions that were slapped on it after its latest nuclear
test in February.
On Monday, Pentagon
spokesman George Little warned against connecting the ship deployment to
recent tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
"I would urge everyone
to disconnect this ship deployment from recent military exercises in
South Korea. We have regular ship movements in the Asia-Pacific region
and we use our ship movements for any number of purposes," he told CNN's
Christiane Amanpour.
Analysts have expressed
heavy skepticism that the North has the military capabilities to follow
through on many of its melodramatic threats.
But concerns remain that
it could carry out a localized attack on South Korea, as it did in
November 2010 when it shelled Yeongpyeong Island, killing four people.
Displays of strength
The United States has
sought to show its willingness to defend its South Korean ally by
drawing attention to displays of its military strength during the drills
taking place in South Korea.
Washington's recent
announcements concerning practice flights over South Korea by B-52
bombers and B-2 stealth bombers, both of which can carry both
conventional and nuclear weapons, have not been lost on Pyongyang, which
has described them as acts of U.S. hostility.
There was no immediate
reaction on North Korean state media Monday to the U.S. statement saying
the stealth fighters, F-22 Raptors, were sent to the main U.S. Air
Force Base in South Korea to support air drills in the annual Foal Eagle
training exercises there.
U.S. and South Korean
officials have been trying to strike a balance between acknowledging
that the North's rhetoric is cause for concern and at the same time
playing down the severity of the threat.
Park said Monday that she was "viewing the threat from North Korea in a serious manner."
But a senior
U.S. Defense Department official said late last week that there were "no indications at this point that it's anything more than warmongering rhetoric."
And Little, the Pentagon
spokesman said Monday that recent U.S. activities with South Korea
"have been about alliance assurance, about ensuring them that we are
there to protect them."
"We haven't seen any
kind of troop movements on the North Korean side that would indicate
imminent military action. So we think that things may be dialing down
just a bit on the Korean Peninsula, at least we hope so," he said.
South Korea has noted
that scores of its workers have continued in recent days to enter and
leave the Kaesong Industrial Complex, a joint economic cooperation zone
between the two Koreas situated on the North's side of the border.
That is despite Pyongyang cutting a key military hotline on the border and threatening to shut down the complex.
Moscow and Beijing call for calm
The heightened tensions
have prompted North Korea's traditional allies, China and Russia, to
urge the different sides to keep a lid on the situation.
"Moscow expects all
parties to exercise as much responsibility and restraint as possible in
light of North Korea's latest statements," the Russian foreign ministry
said Saturday according to Russian state broadcaster Russia Today.
China, which expressed frustration over Pyongyang's most recent nuclear test, also called for calm.
"We hope relevant
parties can work together to turn around the tense situation in the
region," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Friday, describing
peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula as "a joint responsibility."
But the coming weeks appear laced with potential for more bouts of saber-rattling.
North Korean delegates
are currently gathered in Pyongyang for the Supreme People's Assembly,
the country's rubber stamp parliament.
And April 15 is the
anniversary of the birth of Kim Il Sung, the nation's founder and the
grandfather of Kim Jong Un. That day, the biggest national holiday in
North Korea, is usually marked by large-scale parades.
Meanwhile, the
U.S.-South Korean military exercises that have already stirred so much
ire from the North are due to continue until the end of the month.
Some
analysts have noted that Pyongyang has carried out some sort of military provocation within weeks of every South Korean presidential inauguration.
Park, the current president, took office on February 25, five weeks ago.
"You can't put it past
them the idea that they are ... trying to establish a new equilibrium in
which they are accepted as a nuclear weapons state," Victor Cha, former
director of Asian affairs for the U.S. National Security Council and
now a Georgetown University professor, said about North Korea.
CNN's Barbara Starr reported from
Washington. K.J. Kwon reported from Seoul, and Jethro Mullen reported
and wrote from South Korea.
If
one wants to understand why such communal and religious riots broke out
in Myanmar so soon after the country opened up, there are certain
underlying factors that need to be looked at.
