Nuclear drone test to create ‘radioactive tsunami’ in North Korea

North Korea has announced that it has retested an “underwater drone” designed to destroy navy ships and ports, which can be used abroad and is also nuclear capable.

The test came a day after nuclear representatives from South Korea, the United States and Japan met in the capital Seoul to discuss efforts to increase North Korea’s nuclear capability.

In news from North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), it was claimed that the underwater drone, named “Haeil-2”, which means “tsunami” in Korean, remained underwater for more than 71 hours after the trial. In the news it was claimed that the drone successfully hit the model warhead in the waters near the port city of Tanchon, noting that the weapon demonstrated that it could hit targets as far as 1000 kilometers away with its “deadly strike capability”. . .

THE LATEST NORTH KOREA WEAPON

North Korea had twice tested an underwater drone called “Haeil-1” last month, which could be used abroad and could also generate a nuclear-capable “radioactive tsunami.” It was claimed that the drone was “designed to attack enemy ships and ports by generating a large-scale radioactive tsunami.”

The latest weapon North Korea claims to have developed is considered to be similar to Russian Poseidon torpedoes, which are claimed to be capable of generating radioactive ocean waves and nuclear tsunamis that could destroy US coastal cities.

The South Korean military had declared that the North’s claims about “Haeil-1” were “exaggerated or fabricated”.

In 2022, North Korea launched more than 90 ICBMs, the highest number of missiles fired in a year, despite a series of sanctions from the UN, US, EU and neighboring countries. Since the beginning of the year, some 30 missile tests have been carried out at 11 different launch events. (AA)
