The United States and South Korea conducted joint drills over South Korean airspace on Monday afternoon, weeks after North Korea conducted its sixth nuclear test and the United Nations Security Council adopted sanctions curtailing oil exports to the country.


The United States deployed four F-35B jets and two supersonic B-1B bombers, and jointly trained with four F-15K bombers of the South Korean air force, South Korean news service Newsis reported.

The aircraft conducted mock-bombing training exercises over a training ground in Yeongwol, Gangwon Province in central South Korea.

During training, the F-35B fighter jets dropped Joint Direct Attack Munition weapons, or JDAM, a smart bomb with high accuracy, all-weather bombing capability guided by a GPS.
