The US flew four stealth fighter jets and two bombers over the Korean peninsula today in a show of force after North Korea's latest nuclear and missile tests, a report said.
Four F-35B stealth fighters and two B-1B bombers staged "mock bombing drills" over the peninsula this morning, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said, citing an unidentified Seoul government source.
If confirmed, they would be the first flights since the North conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test on September 3 and staged an intermediate-range missile test over Japan last Friday, sending regional tensions soaring.
The US jets trained together with four South Korean F-15K jet fighters before returning to their bases in Japan and Guam, Yonhap quoted the source as saying.
