The U.S. Air Force flew two B-1B Lancers above waters east of North Korea over the weekend,...
demonstrating its range of military options against the regime's threats.
It was, according to the Pentagon, the farthest north of the DMZ that *any U.S. fighter jet
or a bomber has flown in the 21st century.
Calling the regime's weapons program a "grave threat," Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said
the mission was a demonstration of U.S. resolve,... adding that Washington is prepared to use
the full range of military capabilities to defend its homeland and its allies.
South Korea's presidential office said the latest deployment was closely coordinated
between Seoul and Washington,... referring to it as one of the most effective countermeasures
against North Korea's nuclear and missile programs.
