US nuclear bomber joins drills with S. Korea, Japan after Pyongyang missile test
==========
On November 3, 2024, the US deployed a B-1B nuclear bomber in a trilateral drill with South Korea and Japan following North Korea's test of the Hwasong-19 ICBM. The missile, tested on November 1, 2024, flew higher and longer than previous missiles, with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un calling it 'an appropriate military action.' The joint exercise aimed to demonstrate the ROK-US alliance's commitment to deterrence against North Korea's threats. This was the fourth deployment of the B-1B to the Korean peninsula this year and the second trilateral exercise in response to North Korea's military actions. Experts noted that while North Korea's missile program shows progress, there are still technological challenges to overcome for effective ICBM capabilities.
