SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea says leader Kim Jong Un has supervised a demonstration of new exploding drones designed to crash into targets and is pledging to spur development of such weapons to boost his military’s war readiness. Kim has been flaunting his growing military capabilities amid tensions with Washington and Seoul. North Korean photos of the test showed a white drone supposedly crashing into and destroying a target resembling a South Korean battle tank. North Korea’s drone display comes as the U.S. and South Korean militaries continue a large-scale exercise aimed at enhancing their combined capabilities to cope with North Korean threats.
