is reporting North Korea has wasted no time criticizing the US\u2019s recent practice bombing runs in South Korea. Rodong Sinmun, the ruling party\u2019s newspaper, called the act \u201creckless military provocations\u201d after US Air Force B-1B\u2019s dropped inert shapes during a Saturday training mission. These comments were reported by the state Korean Central News Agency, saying the activity increased the threat of nuclear war.<\/span><\/p>\nThe exercise was conducted days after North Korea successfully tested a ballistic missile reportedly able to strike Alaska and Hawaii. <\/span><\/p>\nThe Air Force, in a statement, called the mission a “demonstration of the ironclad U.S. commitment to our allies.”<\/span><\/p>\nThe bombers, which can carry 84 500-pound bombs, fired releasing inert weapons at the Pilsung Range. The mission took 10 hours, according to the statement.<\/span><\/p>\nNorth Korea’s actions are a threat to our allies, partners and homeland,” Gen. Terrence O’ Shaughnessy, the Pacific Air Forces commander, said. “Let me be clear, if called upon we are trained, equipped and ready to unleash the full lethal capability of our allied air forces.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\nAdditionally, the US and South Korea will test the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system later this month.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
