These latest moves are in retaliation to the U.S. flying two B-2 Spirit bombers over South Korea. It was a training exercise but also meant as forceful signal to North Korea.
The stealth bombers are capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear weapons. They flew more than 6,500 miles from Missouri to South Korea.
U.S. Forces in Korea say the mission "demonstrates the United States ability to conduct long-range, precision strikes quickly and at will."

Pope Francis washes inmates' feet: Is he focused on the right priorities?
Since being tapped to lead the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, Pope Francis has made an effort to appear different then his predecessors.
