US bombers fly near North Korea again

US STRATEGIC bombers made another show of force to North Korea yesterday a day after recently freed US tourist Otto Warmbier died in hospital after being flown home.

Two bombers flew over South Korea yesterday in a now-ritual display to the north.

In the US city of Cincinnati, where Mr Warmbier died on Monday after reportedly spending more than a year in a coma in North Korea, Hamilton County coroner Dr Lakshmi Sammaraco’s office said that he had “accepted the case.”
