US seek to deploy aircraft carrier, strategic bomber to S. Korea: defense ministry

South Korea and the United States will seek to deploy a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, strategic bomber and other powerful assets to the Korean Peninsula as a response to North Korea's latest nuclear test, Seoul's defense ministry said Monday.

In its report to the National Assembly's defense committee, the ministry also said that its military will stage a unilateral live-fire drill, which involves Taurus air-to-surface missiles mounted on its F-15 K fighter jets, this month.

The show-of-force measures were unveiled a day after Pyongyang conducted what it claims to be a test of a hydrogen bomb mountable onto an intercontinental ballistic missile, sharply raising military tensions. (Yonhap)
