US and South Korean forces recently conducted joint bombing drills on the Korean Peninsula with the participation of a US B-1B bomber. These military exercises marked the return of the US bomber to such drills in South Korea after a seven-year hiatus. The bomber was reported dropping joint direct attack munitions at an undisclosed location in the country, accompanied by South Korean F-15K fighter jets. Tensions have been escalating on the Korean Peninsula, leading South Korea to resume all military activities along its border with North Korea. Pyongyang’s recent provocative actions, including sending trash-filled balloons to the South and engaging in test military drills, have further strained relations. The South Korean military also detected GPS jamming near islands under its control. As security concerns heighten, the region remains on edge amid the resumption of military engagements and increased provocations from North Korea.
