The bomber, along with the South Korean military aircraft, "successfully released live GBU-38, 500-pound joint direct attack munitions, simultaneously striking multiple simulated targets."
U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer from the 37th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron receives a bird bath at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, June 3, 2024, in support of a Bomber Task Force mission.
At that time, North Korean weapons testing and provocations prompted US and South Korean forces to regularly fly in the area, conducting training exercises to deter North Korea.
A year earlier, North Korea twice tested a nuclear weapon, and then it did so again in 2017.
