North Korea tests exploding drones as Kim calls for mass production

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 on Friday. North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency published photos of Mr. Kim talking with officials near at least two different types of unmanned aerial vehicles. The report didn’t say if Mr. Kim spoke directly about rival South Korea, which the North Korean drones are apparently designed to target. Tensions in the region have escalated as Mr. Kim flaunts his advancing nuclear and missile program, which includes various nuclear-capable weapons targeting South Korea and intercontinental ballistic missiles that can potentially reach the U.S. mainland.
