North Korea is testing mysterious underwater torpedo that could cause ‘radioactive tsunami’
North Korea’s state news agency KCNA reported Friday that Kim Jongun’s government tested a new submarine nuclear attack drone this week in response to joint military exercises led by the United States and South Korea
During the maneuvers, which took place between Tuesday (21st) and Thursday (23rd), the North Korean army tested this new weapon system, the aim of which, according to KCNA, is to “cause a largescale radioactive tsunami” with an underwater explosion. News Agency “This nuclear submarine attack drone can be deployed on any coast and port, or towed from a surface vessel for deployment,” the same source added. The “secret weapon” was planted underwater in South Hamgyon province on Tuesday. A test warhead was detonated on Thursday, the agency said.
North Korea fired several cruise missiles on Wednesday, according to the South Korean military, which is currently conducting joint longrange exercises with the United States.
North Koreans view these maneuvers as a threat and an opportunity to invade their own territory. Pyongyang has repeatedly warned against reacting “massively” to the exercises. The new launches come about a week after North Korea confirmed it had launched a Hwasong17 missile into the Sea of Japan. It was the second ICBM test in 2023. Go to the mobile version
