US has moved three B-2 bombers around the Korean Peninsula along with several hundred military personnel ahead of the Winter Olympics to be held in South Korea next month, reports said.

The military build-up comes even as both Koreas engage in talks over the&nbsp;Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Trump administration had earlier postponed military drills with South Korea but had continued its military presence even as it welcomed talks between the two countries.

In a statement, the US government said the deployment is intended to provide leaders with &quot;deterrent options to maintain regional stability.&quot;

The US government has sent the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier to the western Pacific. The Navy called it a &quot;regular scheduled deployment&quot;.

Meanwhile, the USS Wasp reached southern Japan. USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier is also in the region off Japan.&nbsp;The 40,00-ton, 844-foot-long Wasp is an aircraft carrier built in the 80s. It hosts Marine Corps F-35B stealth fighter jets.

In addition, several thousand marines are also deployed in the area. 
 
The North Korean government in a statement said: &quot;Such moves are an unpardonable military provocation chilling the atmosphere for improved inter-Korean relations.&quot;
