North Korea claims it tested a nuclear underwater attack drone that detonated in waters off its east coast
North Korean state news agency KCNA said on Friday it tested a new nuclear underwater attack drone under leader Kim Jong Un’s guidance this week, as a U.S. amphibious assault ship arrived in South Korea for joint drills.
During the drill, the North Korean drone cruised underwater for over 59 hours and detonated in waters off its east coast on Thursday, the KCNA said. It did not elaborate on the drone’s nuclear capabilities. “This nuclear underwater attack drone can be deployed at any coast and port or towed by a surface ship for operation,” the news agency said.
The missiles were tipped with a “test warhead simulating a nuclear warhead,” and flew 1,500 to 1,800 kilometres, it added.
