A B-2 stealth bomber equipped with nuclear strike capabilities flew over undisclosed parts of the Pacific region this weekend ahead of President Trump’s visit to Japan and South Korea, reports said. B-2 bomber, with its large operating range and ability to refuel in the air, is likely a top choice in the event of a U.S. nuclear attack on North Korea. Pentagon chief Jim Mattis, who is currently visiting allies in the region, reiterated on Sunday unequivocal opposition to North Korea as a nuclear power. "I cannot imagine a condition under which the United States would accept North Korea as a nuclear power," he said in South Korea, according to 9News.com.au. North Korea also reportedly spent the weekend preparing for a war, conducting evacuation and black out drills across the country, NK News reported.
