Yesterday (19th) two Russian Air Force strategic bombers B-52 were spotted training in the northern part of the Japanese archipelago on Russian air and civil aviation tracking sites.

While being fueled by aerial refuelers, they have been skimming the sky around the Korean Peninsula for hours.

Yesterday, the B-52 was Alaska's U.S. air force and trained more than 10,000 km of long-range bombing to and from Northeast Asia.

The US Pacific Air Force revealed that two B-52 strategic bombers from Alaska also trained in the southern part of the Japanese archipelago on the 17th, the day after North Korea detonated the liaison office.

Aside from the reconnaissance aircraft, four B-52 bombers were airborne protested in the north east of the country after the bombing of the liaison office.

military is not only monitoring the Kaesong Industrial Complex and the Demilitarized Zone, but also monitoring the east coast of Sinpo, Wonsan, and Geumgangsan.
