SEOUL — The United States flew a long-range bomber in a trilateral drill with South Korea and Japan on Sunday in response to North Korea's recent test-firing of a new intercontinental ballistic missile designed to strike the US mainland, South Korea's military said.North Korea on Thursday tested the newly developed Hwasong-19 ICBM , which flew higher and stayed in the air longer than any other missile it has fired.
The US often responds to major North Korean missile tests with temporary deployments of some of its powerful military assets such as long-range bombers, aircraft carriers and nuclear-powered submarines to and near the Korean Peninsula. North Korea typically responds angrily to such US actions, calling them part of a US-led plot to invade the North and performing additional weapons tests.
