Kim Jong Un said the country’s production of nuclear warheads should increase “significantly” and it should build a more powerful intercontinental ballistic missile.

Launch the bot

And on New Year’s Eve, three bots were launched over the sea. The robot tests have become a symptom of last year, when tensions rose on the Korean peninsula.

I apologise

The latest tests took place the same week the country flew drones over South Korea. It was a wake-up call for Seoul, whose air defenses had failed to shoot anyone down, even though one of the drones reached the northern suburbs of the capital. This led to the South Korean military publicly apologizing for the lapses, which is rare.

South Korea responded by sending its own drones across the border into the North, and this week held a military exercise simulating shooting down drones. On Friday, Seoul tested a rocket intended to launch an observation satellite into orbit. Today, South Korea relies on US satellites to monitor its neighbor to the north.
