North Korea tests exploding drones as Kim calls for mass production
The demonstration came as the United States, South Korea and Japan held combined military exercises in nearby waters.
North Korea tested exploding drones designed to crash into targets and leader Kim Jong Un called for accelerating mass production of the weapons, state media said.
The country’s latest military demonstration came as the US, South Korea and Japan engaged in combined military exercises involving advanced fighter jets and a US aircraft carrier in nearby international waters, in a display of their defence posture against North Korea.
North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) published photos of Mr Kim talking with officials near at least two different types of unmanned aerial vehicles.
They included those with X-shaped tails and wings that look similar to the ones the country disclosed in August when Mr Kim inspected another demonstration of drones that explode on impact.
