THE US has military plans in place to combat North Korea, US Defence Secretary James 'Jim' Mattis has revealed amid escalating tensions over Kim Jong-un’s nuclear and missile advancements.

It comes as North Korea test launched another missile over Japan on Friday following an earlier hydrogen bomb test which sparked a 6.3 magnitude earthquake.

Mr Mattis said he and his South Korean counterpart had discussed the idea of introducing nuclear weapons to the Korean peninsula but would disclose any further details about the military plans.

He added: “Yes there are. But I will not go into details.”

Mr Mattis also said diplomacy and sanctions were working and putting pressure on Pyongyang.

His comments follow a display of military might by the US over the Korean Peninsula as four F-35B stealth fighters and two B-1B bombers flew across the region as a warning to Kim Jong-un.

Dramatic photographs taken at the bombing range show the fighter jets zoom past overhead, before dropping their weapons into a mountain-side crater causing a huge fiery explosion.

The drills are the first flights since North Korea conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test on September 3 - along with staging another missile test over Japan, sending regional tensions soaring.

As part of today’s “routine” training exercise, US jets few alongside four South Korean F-15K jet fighters to drop MK-82, MK-84 and GBU-32 bombs on stimulated targets at the Pilseung Range in Gangwon-do.

After the drills, the F-35B jets and B-1B bombers returned to their bases in Japan and Guam respectively, sources said.

But the joint drills will be conducted "two to three times a month these days", Defence Minister Song Young-moo told a parliamentary hearing on Monday.

Trump just got through saying at the U.N. that if pushed to it by NK we will completely destroy that country.

Mattis isn’t operating in a void.

You will admit that, surely...

1. That the U.S. has such plans should surprise no one.

2. No doubt the dictators in North Korea have their plans too.

3. The real question, strategic question, for the U.S. is what does the U.S. know about the plans of North Korea’s dictators. Knowing those plans can save lives and improve the work we know we can do defeating the north’s dictators.
