Seoul: North Korea has tested an explosive drone designed to deliver precision strikes on targets. During this, Kim Jong Un has talked about accelerating the large-scale manufacturing of these weapons. Government media gave information about this on Friday. The country conducted the test at a time when the US, South Korea and Japan are conducting joint military exercises with advanced fighter jets and an American aircraft carrier in nearby international waters.
Tests have already been done
North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) has published some photos in which Kim is seen talking to officials near at least two different types of unmanned aerial vehicles. These include craft with an 'X'-shaped tail and wings that appear to resemble drones the country unveiled in August when Kim inspected another display of exploding drones.
Drone hits targets accurately
KCNA reported that the drones flew different routes and accurately hit the targets. In its pictures, it appeared that the drone was targeting old models of BMW sedans and tanks. Kim expressed satisfaction with the process of developing the weapons and stressed the need to “build a series production system as soon as possible and carry out mass production.” Kim explained how drones are becoming important in modern warfare. KCNA echoed Kim's words, saying drones are easy to manufacture at low cost for many military activities.

North Korea accused South Korea
Let us tell you that North Korea had accused South Korea of sending its drones to drop anti-North Korea leaflets last month and threatened that if it was done again, it would respond with force. South Korea's military has refused to confirm whether North Korea's claims are true or not. (AP)
