US, ROK mull new deployments

The allies consider strategic ways to respond to DPRK's recent claim it tested hydrogen bomb

The Republic of Korea said on Monday that further US "strategic assets" might be deployed to the Korean Peninsula, following a flyover by a US B-52 bomber in response to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's latest nuclear test.

Seoul also announced additional restrictions on the movement of its citizens to the jointly-run Kaesong industrial park, just a few kilometers over the border inside the DPRK.
