The exercise aims to beef up defence cooperation against North Korea’s missile and nuclear threats.
The joint aerial drill involving South Korea, the US, and Japan will involve a nuclear-weapons-capable B-52 bomber.
An official at Seoul’s defence ministry declined to confirm the reports, but said the three countries were expanding joint exercises “to counter missile and nuclear threats from North Korea”. The bomber landed at a South Korean airbase yesterday after first making a flyover at the country’s largest defence exhibition.
Pyongyang baulks at Washington’s deployment of such long-range military assets and in 2017 threatened to “shoot down” US strategic bombers even if they were outside North Korea’s airspace.
