As tensions with North Korea escalate, the US has flown nuclear-capable bombers.
The US has flown nuclear-capable B-52 bombers over the Korean peninsula in a show of force against North Korea, as fears have grown that Pyongyang could conduct a nuclear test.
South Korea’s Ministry of National Defense said the long-range bombers took part in joint air exercises with US and South Korean fighter jets over the Korean Peninsula.
This is the first deployment of US B-52 bombers to the Korean Peninsula in over a month.
In response to North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats, the South Korean and US militaries are increasing their joint military exercises.
It should be noted that before the joint military exercises announced by South Korea and the United States, North Korea had fired a ballistic missile. The missile was fired after North Korea warned to stop joint exercises.
