Pyongyang's sabre-rattling comes amid South Korean-US military exercises involving American long-range B-1B bombers and fighter jets.
North Korea said its missile tests were a response to the United States’ flyover of long-range B-1B bombers for joint aerial training with South Korea earlier Wednesday as part of the allies’ field exercises.
According to South Korean and Japanese assessments, the two short-range missiles travelled a distance of 360-400 kilometres at a maximum altitude of 50 kilometres before landing in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan. South Korean and Japanese authorities said their warplanes conducted combined aerial drills with US B-1B bombers on Wednesday. South Korea’s Defence Ministry said that Wednesday’s B-1B deployment is the 10th flyover by US bombers on the Korean Peninsula this year.FILE PHOTO: US Air Force B-1B bombers, F-16 fighter jets and South Korean Air Force F-35A take part in a joint air drill.
