North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un's sister used a slew of derisive terms, including “dog barking”, as she targetted the US over the joint drills with South Korea
The deployment of the US B-52 bombers and the F-22 stealth fighter jets were part of an agreement to protect South Korea with all available means, including nuclear, South Korea’s Defence Ministry said.
The drills, which also included F-35 and F-15 fighter jets from South Korea, took place in the waters southwest of Jeju island, the ministry said. It said that the US F-22 jets were deployed in South Korea for the first time in four years and will stay throughout this week for training with South Korean forces.
North Korea said its rocket launches on Sunday were tests of its first military reconnaissance satellite and released two low-resolution photos of South Korean cities as viewed from space. However, some civilian experts in South Korea and elsewhere said the images were too crude for surveillance and that the launches were likely a cover for North Korea’s missile technology. South Korea’s military maintained North Korea fired two medium-range ballistic missiles.
