North Korea has slammed the United States for deploying its B-1B strategic bombers to

South Korea five times last month,... saying Washington is pushing the peninsula to the

brink of war with its military drills.

The regime's state-run Korean Central News Agency said Saturday that the drills were

sorties in preparation for a surprise attack on the North.

The U.S. Forces Korea made public a joint exercise involving one B-1B on March 22nd,

but it wouldn't confirm if there had been more.

However,... a source within South Korea's defense ministry has confirmed the U.S. did

have B-1Bs make five flyovers during the past fortnight.

Experts believe the U.S. is deploying its strategic weaponry to send a strong message

to North Korea that it must halt its provocations.
