South Korea’s military says the United States flew B-1B supersonic bombers and F-35 fighter jets over South Korea in a show of force following North Korea’s latest ballistic missile launch.
An official from Seoul’s defence ministry said on Thursday that two B-1B bombers and two F-35 fighters participated in training with South Korean F-15 fighter jets. He didn’t want to be named, citing office rulers.
Such flyovers are common when animosity rises on the Korean Peninsula, which is technically in a state of war because the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.
