WAR DRUMS! One Day after Trump Declares Talks with North Korea Is over! The US Drops Bombs on the North Korean Border during Drills

THE US staged its own terrifying show of strength today by dropping huge bombs near the North Korean border - days after Kim Jong-un's latest missile outrage.



Four US F-35B fighter jets joined two nuclear-ready US B-1B bombers and four South Korean F-15 fighter jets in the joint military operation over the troubled Korean Peninsula.



The exercise was designed to "strongly counter North Korea's repeated ballistic missile tests and development of nuclear weapons," a South Korean official told CNN.



In a statement, the US air force said its bombers flew out of Andersen Air Force Base in Guam and four stealth fighter jets from a US Marine Corps base in Japan.



They conducted a shocking bombing attack, which simulated a surgical strike of key enemy facilities, over the Pilseung Range in the eastern province of Gangwon - which neighbours North Korea.



The sabre rattling drill followed North Korea's latest weapons test - which was the first ballistic missile fired OVER Japan.



North Korea has been test-firing missiles at a rapid clip this year. With each launch, experts fear Kim's military can further refine and perfect its missile technology.



The bomber flights have becomes a common response to North Korean actions but the dropping off bombs is seen as an escalation by the US.
