Part 7/9:
Recent Military Actions and North Korea’s Nuclear Ambitions
The underwater drone test is part of a series of recent provocations, including a successful missile test of an intermediate-range missile equipped with a hypersonic warhead last Sunday. These actions underscore North Korea’s ongoing efforts to advance its missile technology and nuclear capabilities, in defiance of international sanctions and diplomacy.
Kim Jong-un, North Korea’s leader, allegedly conceived the drone idea after watching Austin Powers movies—an anecdotal detail that highlights the bizarre and unpredictable nature of North Korea’s missile program.
