U.S. embassy in Seoul warns North Korea with photo: This B-2 stealth bomber is just across border
The U.S. embassy in Seoul, South Korea, sent a not-so-subtle message Thursday to the rogue regime in the North: This stealth bomber is right across the border."Two B-2 bombers flew over South Korea today, demonstrating the US's ability to conduct precision strikes at will," the embassy tweeted in Korean and English. The vaunted B-2 is designed to penetrate deep into enemy territory without detection and can carry conventional and nuclear air-to-surface weapons. Revelations of two B-2 stealth bomber missions over South Korea were revealed as Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel vowed an "unwavering commitment" to protect America's ally in the South following escalating threats from the North on the Divided peninsula. Mr. Hagel spoke with his South Korean counterpart Kim Kwan Jin early Thursday Seoul time, to assure him of "the steadfast U.S. commitment to the defense of South Korea," Bloomberg News reported, citing a statement from the Pentagon.
