SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Ina show of force following weeks of North Korean bluster, the U.S. on Thursday took the unprecedented step of announcing that two of its nuclear-capable B-2 bombers dropped munitions on a South Korean island as part of joint military drills.
The announcement is likely to further enrage Pyongyang, which has already issued a flood of ominous statements to highlight displeasure over the drills and U.N. sanctions over its nuclear test last month. But there were signs Thursday that it is willing to go only so far.
glad to see this is not being taken lightly, but also sad that this has to happen at all.
U.S. Forces Korea said in a statement that the B-2 stealth bombers flew from a U.S. air base in Missouri and dropped munitions on a South Korean island range before returning home. It was unclear whether America's stealth bombers were used in past annual drills with South Korea, but this is the first time the military has announced their use.The statement follows an earlier U.S. announcement that nuclear-capable B-52 bombers participated in the joint military drills.
we all need to pray that there is no nuclear engagement, destruction and collateral destruction, with the global weather situation winds can carry death and destruction around the world
