North Korea claims to have tested a nuclear-capable underwater drone designed to generate a gigantic 'radioactive tsunami' that, it says, could destroy naval strike groups and ports.
abc.net.au/news/north-korea-claims-radioactive-tsunami-weapon-tested-at-sea/102143902North Korea claims to have tested a nuclear-capable underwater drone designed to generate a gigantic "radioactive tsunami" that, it says, could destroy naval strike groups and ports.
Analysts were sceptical that the device presented a major new threat, but the test underlines the North's commitment to raising nuclear threats. Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency said the new weapon — which can be deployed from the coast or towed by surface ships — is built to "stealthily infiltrate into operational waters and make a super-scale radioactive tsunami through an underwater explosion to destroy naval strike groups and major operational ports of the enemy".
The testing of the purported "nuclear underwater attack drone" was part of a three-day exercise that simulated nuclear attacks on unspecified South Korean targets, which also included cruise missile launches on Wednesday.
