The U.S. Air Force deployed B-1B strategic bombers in a U.S. and South Korea military exercises Saturday, after North Korea fired a barrage of weapons tests in recent days.

North Korea fired four short-range ballistic missiles Saturday as the U.S. and South Korea continue military exercises that were extended an extra day in reaction to Pyongyang’s launches earlier in the week.

South Korea’s defense ministry said the missiles flew about 130 kilometers and reached an altitude of about 20 kilometers over the western sea.

North Korea has launched 30 missiles since Wednesday, including some that triggered air raid alerts and emergency shelter orders in South Korea and Japan. The barrage included a test Thursday of an intercontinental ballistic missile, which reportedly failed in-flight.

South Korea scrambled fighter jets Friday after detecting 180 North Korean military flights near the border as tensions on the Korean Peninsula continued to escalate.

Saturday’s U.S.-South Korea air exercises included the participation of two U.S. B-1B strategic bombers.

The U.N. Security Council met to discuss North Korea's missile launches Friday at the request of the United States, Britain, Albania, France, Ireland and Norway.

The 10 nonpermanent members of the Security Council, which include India, Brazil and Mexico, condemned North Korea's missile launches in a joint statement.
