REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, SEOUL - The US military says two nuclear-capable B-2 bombers have completed a training mission in South Korea amid threats from North Korea that include nuclear strikes on Washington and Seoul.
The statement Thursday by US Forces-Korea is an unusual confirmation. It follows an earlier US announcement that nuclear-capable B-52 bombers participated in ongoing US - South Korean military drills.
The US says the B-2 stealth bombers flew from a US air base and dropped munitions on a South Korean island range before returning home. The announcement will likely draw a strong response from Pyongyang.
North Korea sees the military drills as part of a US plot to invade and becomes particularly upset about US nuclear activities in the region. Washington and Seoul say they the annual drills are routine and defensive.
