Stars & Stripes<\/a> reports that 2 B-1B Lancer bombers flew a ten hour mission from Guam to the Korean peninsula in response to test by North Korea of their missile system.<\/p>\n

A suspected Hwasong-14 missile — the second ICBM North Korea has tested successfully in July — was fired late Friday from Mupyong-ni in the country\u2019s far northwest and splashed down into the Sea of Japan about 620 miles east of the launch site, the Pentagon said.<\/p>\n

The Guam-based B-1B Lancers first flew into Japanese airspace and were joined by two Japan Air Self-Defense Force F-2 fighter jets, the Pacific Air Forces statement said. The bombers then headed to the Korean Peninsula and were met by four South Korean F-15s.<\/p>\n

After a low pass over Osan Air Base, the pair returned to Andersen Air Force Base, Guam.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“North Korea remains the most urgent threat to regional stability,” said Gen. Terrence J. O’Shaughnessy, Pacific Air Forces commander. “Diplomacy remains the lead. However, we have a responsibility to our allies and our nation to showcase our unwavering commitment while planning for the worst-case scenario.”<\/p>\n

“If called upon, we are ready to respond with rapid, lethal, and overwhelming force at a time and place of our choosing,” O’Shaughnessy said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
