Kim Jong-un wants "absolute superiority" in drones

North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un attended a drone exhibition where the country launched several projectiles, marking the first activity in 17 days. Amid rising tensions with South Korea, Kim emphasized the need for "absolute superiority in drone technology". Reports indicate North Korea aims to diversify its conventional and nuclear arsenal, potentially influenced by military personnel in Russia. The exhibition showcased over 30 different drones and included tests of missiles and precision weapons. South Korea detected the projectile launches from North Korea's northeast coast, while tensions escalated following recent incidents in the Demilitarized Zone, with both sides exchanging accusations.
