North Korea warned Wednesday that it will take military action should the United States deploy B-52 strategic bombers again on the peninsula.
"We are keeping close tabs on the activity of the B-52 strategic bomber," a spokesperson for the North's foreign ministry said, according to its official news agency KCNA.
If the bomber appears again over the Korean Peninsula, it won't be able to avoid a strong military response, added the unnamed spokesperson.
The U.S. sent B-52 bombers based on Guam to Korea for ongoing joint military drills, apparently in a show of firepower.
The B-52 Stratofortress, used since the 1950s, is capable of carrying out nuclear strikes.
U.S. military officials confirmed that the B-52s deployed in Korea for the exercises were part of the U.S. Pacific Command's Continuous Bomber Presence in the Pacific. They did not specify how many bombers were sent.
