North Korea reacted nervously to a secretive U.S. aerial bombing drill in South Korea using B-1B strategic bombers.
The official [North] Korean Central News Agency on Thursday said a fleet of B-1B Lancer bombers from Andersen Air Force Base on Guam carried out a nuclear bombing drill practicing for preemptive strikes against major targets in the North.
The planes flew for about an hour over a firing range in Yeongwol, Gangwon Province, KCNA said. The South Korean and U.S. militaries have not confirmed the deployment of B-1Bs.
But a source here said two U.S. B-1B bombers took part in a bombing drill over the Korean Peninsula and flew back to their base coinciding with the arrival of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier on Wednesday to join in the ongoing U.S. and South Korean military exercises.
