US air assets fly off the North Korean coast in clear show of force




US B-1B bombers, accompanied by an squadron of F-15 fighter bomber jets, flew north of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that demarcates the border between North and South Korea earlier today, in a clear show of force to the Pyongyang regime.

The air fleet carried out the operation in the northernmost point from the DMZ, a remote area where no military units have ventured this century.

The display of force comes at point where tensions between North Korea and the US continue to mount. Last Tuesday, President Trump said during his speech at the UN that the United States would ‘totally destroy’ North Korea, if the country attempted any military action against US soil or its allies.
