The U.S. is threatening a nuclear attack against North Korea by flying B-52 bombers during joint military drills with South Korea this month, the North’s National Defense Commission said.

The B-52 bombers taking part in the Aug. 19-30 Ulchi Freedom Guardian exercises are a “brazen” nuclear threat, the Commission, led by dictator Kim Jong Un, said today in a statement. U.S. Forces Korea declined to say if B-52s have joined the drills.
