North Korea boasts successful test of nuclear-capable underwater drone.

North Korea claims to have successfully tested an underwater nuclear-capable drone, the Haeil-2, this week. The country's state media said the system would serve as an advantageous and prospective military potential of the armed forces of the DPRK essential for containing all evolving military actions of enemies, removing threats and defending the country. Due to the lack of a free press and diplomatic relations, it is not currently possible to evaluate North Korea officials' claims. The country has stopped responding to regularly scheduled calls with South Korea as military tensions rise.
