North Korea: China and Russia warn US against military force
Tensions heighten as US and its allies fly bombers over South Korea

RUSSIA and China warned the US not to risk military action against North Korea over its latest missile test.

The words of caution came as the US sent two B-1 strategic bombers and four of the new F-35 stealth fighters flying over South Korea in the latest muscle-flexing towards Pyongyang.

The provocative exercise was a direct response to North Korea’s test launch of a ballistic missile over Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido on Tuesday.
