North Korea tests new weapons system aimed at enhancing 'tactical nukes' efficiency: KCNA

The Hindu  

North Korea has test-fired a new weapons system, under the supervision of leader Kim Jong Un, that it claims will boost the efficiency of its tactical nuclear weapons, state media said early Sunday. The anniversary celebrations came three weeks after North Korea staged its largest intercontinental ballistic missile test ever — the first time Kim's most powerful weapon had been fired at full range since 2017. Satellite imagery has shown signs of new activity at a tunnel at the Punggye-ri nuclear testing site, which North Korea said was demolished in 2018 ahead of the first Trump-Kim summit. North Korea has tested nuclear weapons six times since 2006 and touted the success of its last and most powerful one in 2017 -- a hydrogen bomb with an estimated yield of 250 kilotons.
