The US Strategic Command has confirmed that a B-2 stealth bomber flew over the Pacific Ocean during the weekend in another show of US military might against North Korea. The move follows the US deployment of 3 carrier strike groups and other military assets to the region ahead of President Donald Trump’s visit to Asia in early November.
The nuclear-capable bomber departed from Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri and flew through a zone known as the US military’s Pacific “area of responsibility” which extends north to south from Mongolia to New Zealand and east to west from Pacific islands to India. Specific details of the mission weren’t disclosed.
