Kim Jong Un demands ‘destructive’ military posture as South Korea vows to boost drone warfare
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called for a stronger "deadly and destructive offensive posture" after recent weapons tests that included a special mission warhead and upgraded rocket systems. South Korea responded by announcing a major expansion of its drone capabilities, planning to acquire over 20,000 drones and train half a million troops as "drone warriors." The moves heighten tensions on the Korean Peninsula as both sides continue to develop conventional and nuclear forces while diplomatic talks remain stalled.
