"North Korea Tests Underwater Nuclear Drone, Escalates Tensions"
North Korea claims to have conducted a test of its "underwater nuclear weapons system" in response to joint military drills by the US, South Korea, and Japan. The test, reportedly involving nuclear-armed underwater drones, took place off the country's east coast. The international community has expressed skepticism about the capabilities of these weapons, with analysts suggesting that they currently pose a less significant threat compared to North Korea's nuclear ballistic missiles. This latest military action comes amid escalating tensions and aggressive rhetoric from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who has recently declared a shift in policy towards South Korea and designated it as the "principle enemy."
