On the 1st, the US and South Korean forces conducted a joint exercise on the western side of the Korean Peninsula using bombers that North Korea is wary of.

On the other hand, North Korea has shown a confrontational attitude, stating that it will respond "super-strongly to any military attempt by the United States."

According to South Korea's Ministry of Defense, the joint exercise was held over the Yellow Sea to the west of the Korean Peninsula, with the participation of the US military's B1 bomber and the latest stealth fighter F-35 of both US and South Korean forces.



The B1 bomber is a bomber that North Korea is wary of, and in the released video, it can be seen that the bomber and fighter planes fly in formation, and the South Korean Ministry of Defense said, ``The threat of North Korea's nuclear and missiles. We will respond resolutely,” he said.



On the other hand, on the morning of the 2nd, the North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement in opposition to the talks between the US and South Korean defense ministers held on January 31, stating that the talks would protect the allies with deterrence such as US nuclear forces. Japan denounced the fact that the strengthening of "extended deterrence" was confirmed.



"Any military attempt by the United States will be dealt with nuclear for nuclear, head-on confrontation head-on, and will respond with super strength," he said.



On top of that, if the United States continues to deploy strategic weapons on and around the Korean Peninsula, it suggests further military provocation, saying that it will "definitely carry out deterrence activities."
