NKorea tension Published March 09, 2016 Associated Press Facebook7 Twitter0 Email Print
WASHINGTON – The U.S. says it has dispatched three B-2 stealth bombers on a training mission to the Asia-Pacific region amid growing tensions with North Korea.
The deployment was announced Wednesday by U.S. Strategic Command, which is responsible for U.S. nuclear forces. B-2 bombers are capable of launching nuclear as well as conventional weapons. They are based at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri.

North Korea threatened pre-emptive nuclear strikes after the United States and South Korea began large-scale war games this month.
