A U.S. B-1B bomber took part in an aerial bombing exercise in South Korea for the first time in seven years on Wednesday, a day after Seoul announced it would no longer abide by an inter-Korean military pact in response to multiple "provocations" by Pyongyang.
The B-1B supersonic strategic bomber has a flight range of 11,998 kilometers (7,455 miles) at a maximum speed of Mach 1.25. Guided weapons launched from a B-1B can strike military bases and command centers hundreds of miles away from the bomber.
At least one B-1B bomber also participated in a joint allied drill that involved F-35A stealth fighters and KF-16 multirole fighters from the South Korean Air Force and F-35B and F-16 fighter jets from the U.S. military, but the ministry did not specify the number of bombers.
Military sources who spoke on condition of anonymity said Marines stationed in Baengnyeong and Yeonpyeong islands plan to conduct live-fire drills involving K-9 howitzers for the first time in nearly six years.
