‘Grave provocation’: N Korea on US drill with South Korea, threatens retaliation

North Korea threatened action after the US flew B-1B bombers over the Korean Peninsula during joint exercises with South Korea, which Pyongyang views as a provocation. The flyover, coinciding with Kim Il Sung's birth anniversary, further inflamed tensions. South Korea and the US have now commenced their biannual "Freedom Flag" exercises, likely escalating North Korea's anger amid stalled denuclearization talks.
