US bombers overflew the Korean peninsula Thursday as part of an
exercise with Japanese and South Korean warplanes, the US Air Force
said, days before President Donald Trump arrives in the region for a
trip set to be dominated by the nuclear-armed North.
Tensions are high over Pyongyang’s ballistic missile and atomic
programmes, which in recent months have seen it test ICBMs and carry out
its sixth nuclear blast.
Flights by supersonic B-1B Lancer bombers in the area always
infuriate North Korea, which condemned the drill as “blackmail” early
Friday.
