U.S. Air Force B-1B bombers and F-15 jets, flying in international waters, carried out a show of force Saturday flying off the coast of North Korea, reaching the farthest point north of the Demilitarized Zone which separates North and South Korea that any U.S. fighter or bomber aircraft has flown in the 21st century.
Pentagon spokesperson Dana White released a statement saying the operation was a display of “the seriousness with which we take (North Korea’s) reckless behavior.”
“This mission is a demonstration of U.S. resolve and a clear message that the President has many military options to defeat any threat,” the statement read. “North Korea’s weapons program is a grave threat to the Asia-Pacific region and the entire international community. We are prepared to use the full range of military capabilities to defend the U.S. homeland and our allies.”
