U.S. Flies B-52 Bomber over South Korea in Show of Force

HeadlineJan 11, 2016

The United States has sent a B-52 bomber on a low-level flight over South Korea in a show of force following last week’s nuclear test by North Korea. North Korea says it tested a hydrogen bomb, although U.S. and international experts have cast heavy doubt on that claim. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said the test was launched in self-defense in response to the “danger of nuclear war caused by U.S.-led imperialists.”
