Two U.S. supersonic bombers conducted fire drills on Saturday, July 8, in South Korea in response to North Korea’s development of long-range and nuclear-capable weapons, notably its recent test-launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
The B-1B Lancer strategic bombers flew from a U.S. base on Guam and conducted a simulated destruction of an enemy ballistic missile launcher and underground facilities at South’s Pilsung Range, flanked by South Korean and U.S. jet fighters. On their way back to Guam, the bombers were joined by Japanese fighter jets.
