		</div><p>A powerful B-52 bomber flew low over South Korea in a clear show of force from the US as tensions increased between its ally Seoul and North Korea following Pyongyang’s fourth nuclear test.</p>
<p>North Korea will read the fly-over of a bomber capable of delivering nuclear weapons as a threat.</p>
<p>Any hint of America’s nuclear power enrages Pyongyang, which links its own pursuit of atomic weapons to what it sees as past nuclear-backed moves by the US to topple its authoritarian government.</p>
<p>The B-52 was joined by South Korean F-15 and US F-16 fighters and returned to its base in Guam after the flight.</p>
<p>“This was a demonstration of the ironclad US commitment to our allies in South Korea, in Japan, and to the defence of the American homeland,” said Admiral Harry Harris, commander US Pacific Command.</p>
<p>“North Korea’s nuclear test is a blatant violation of its international obligations.”</p>
<p>The B-52 flight follows a victory tour by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to celebrate the country’s widely disputed claim of a hydrogen bomb test.</p>
<p>He is seeking to rally pride in an explosion viewed with outrage by much of the world and to boost his domestic political goals.</p>
<p>There was no immediate reaction from North Korea’s state media to the B-52 fly-over, which also happened after North Korea’s third nuclear test in 2013.</p>
