It is reported the B-52 bomber left U.S. Andersen Air Force Base in Guam on Sunday morning and arrived in the skies above Osan, Gyeonggi Province, at noon, according to Yonhap News Agency.

This was a demonstration of U.S. "ironclad commitment to our allies in South Korea, in Japan, and to the defense of the American homeland," Admiral Harry B Harris Jr, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, wrote on Twitter.

The bomber flew past Osan surrounded by an entourage of two South Korean F-15Ks and two U.S. F-16s, the two sides' militaries said.
