[SEOUL] South Korea's navy held major live-fire drills Tuesday to warn the North against any provocations at sea, it said, two days after Pyongyang's biggest nuclear test to date.

"If the enemy launches a provocation above water or under water, we will immediately hit back to bury them at sea," Captain Choi Young Chan, commander of the 13th Maritime Battle Group, said in a statement.
