U.S.deploys jets to S. Korea, The United States deployed stealth fighter jets to South Korea on
Sunday as part of ongoing joint military exercises between the two
countries, a senior U.S. defense official said.
The F-22 Raptors were

annual Foal Eagle training exercises, which are carried out in
accordance with the armistice that put an end to armed hostilities in
1953.

March 11, 10 days after Foal Eagle began. It is something Pyongyang has
done before during heightened tensions.
