North Korea's Alleged Underwater Nuclear Attack Drone Raises Concerns.

TL;DR Summary
North Korea has claimed to have tested a nuclear-capable underwater drone designed to generate a "radioactive tsunami" that would destroy naval strike groups and ports. The test underlines the North's commitment to raising nuclear threats. Analysts were skeptical that the device presents a major new threat. The test came as the United States reportedly planned to deploy aircraft carrier strike groups and other advanced assets to waters off the Korean Peninsula. Military tensions are at a high point as the pace of both North Korean weapons tests and U.S.-South Korea joint military exercises accelerated in the past year in a cycle of tit-for-tat responses.
