PYEONGTAEK, South Korea - Two huge US strategic bombers flew over South Korea on Tuesday in a show of force against North Korea following Pyongyang’s fifth and largest-ever nuclear test. The supersonic B-1B Lancers reached airspace over the US Osan Air Base at Pyeongtaek, 64km south of Seoul , at around 10am (0100 GMT). North Korea ’s nuclear test is a dangerous escalation and poses an unacceptable threat," said the general, adding the US has an "unshakable commitment" to defend allies in the region. South Korea in July announced plans to deploy THAAD, a sophisticated US missile defence system, to counter growing nuclear and missile threats from the North. In January, the US flew a B-52 Stratofortress strategic bomber over Osan Air Base after North Korea ’s fourth nuclear blast.
