- Story Text: South Korea said on Tuesday (May 30) it had conducted a joint drill with a U.S. supersonic B-1B Lancer bomber after North Korea's state media earlier accused the United States of staging a drill to practise dropping nuclear bombs on the Korean peninsula.
Moon Sang-gyun, a spokesman for the South Korean defence ministry, said the exercise took place on Monday (May 29) but declined to give further details.
Earlier on Tuesday, North Korea's state media said the B-1B bomber flew over South Korea to stage "a nuclear bomb dropping drill". - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
