United States bombers and fighter jets flew in international waters along the east coast of North Korea.

The United States Air Force has flown B-1B bombers escorted by fighter jets in international airspace over waters east of North Korea. A spokesman said the flight was to underscore the seriousness with which the US takes North Korea's reckless behaviour.

Also: Mexico hit by another major earthquake, thousands of refugees flee government violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo for Zambia and  NASA names building after an African-American female mathematician who contributed to US space missions.
