The US military flew two Air Force B-1B Lancer bombers over the Korean peninsula in a show of force late on Tuesday (Oct 10) amid high tensions over North Korea's nuclear and missile programmes, South Korea's military said.
The two B-1B bombers were accompanied by two F-15K fighters from the South Korean military after leaving their base in Guam, the South's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a news release on Wednesday.
