South Korea and the United States flew warplanes including stealth fighter jets over waters around the Korean peninsula in a fresh show of force following recent missile tests by the North, Seoul said. Sixteen South Korean warplanes, including F-35 stealth fighters and four US F-16 jets, formed an attack squadron over the West Sea — also known as the Yellow Sea — to 'respond to the enemy threat'', Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.
The allies 'demonstrated their strong ability and will to strike quickly and accurately against any provocation from North Korea'', it added.
The air manoeuvres, which involved some 20 warplanes, come a day after the allies fired eight ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan in the wake of Pyongyang's Sunday weapons tests. — AFP
