Tensions ran high on the 57th anniversary of the armistice that ended the Korean War, as U.S. and South Korean ships conducted high-profile military exercises off the Korean peninsula aimed at warning North Korea against aggressive acts.

The maneuvers came four months after a North Korean submarine torpedoed a South Korean warship, killing 46 sailors in the worst attack on South Korean troops since the end of the Korean War in 1953.

North Korean officials denied the attack and warned against the military exercises in international waters, but the regime didn't show immediate signs of retaliation. The maneuvers included nearly 8,000 sailors and the USS George Washington—a massive U.S. naval ship that can accommodate 70 aircraft and 5,000 troops.
