FORT DRUM (AP) -- People in parts of northern New York can expect the noise of military aircraft and explosions as Air National Guard units practice close air support bombing runs at the Army's Fort Drum.

New York military officials say F-16 jets from the guard in New Jersey and Vermont will be conducting exercises along with controllers from New York, New Jersey and other states from Tuesday through Friday.

They say Monday that much of the activity will be at night to simulate typical combat operations.
