North Korea announced Thursday morning local time that it had conducted a tactical nuclear strike exercise simulating strikes on command posts and airfields in South Korea.
The warning step comes after the United States deployed strategic bombers in the region.
“The missile unit launched two tactical ballistic missiles towards the northeast at Pyongyang International Airport, and correctly carried out the nuclear strike mission,” the Korean Central News Agency reported.

The launch comes a day before South Korea and the United States wrap up 11 days of joint military exercises, which Pyongyang has condemned.
The B-1B fighter jets conducted separate air exercises with warplanes from South Korea and Japan earlier Wednesday.
UN Security Council resolutions imposed strict sanctions on nuclear-armed North Korea, banning its use of ballistic missiles.
