North Korea tests exploding drones as Kim calls for mass production

The country's latest military demonstration came as the United States, South Korea and Japan engaged in combined military exercises involving advanced fighter jets and a U.S. aircraft carrier in nearby international waters, in a display of their defense posture against North Korea.

North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency published photos of Kim talking with officials near at least two different types of unmanned aerial vehicles. They included those with X-shaped tails and wings that look similar to the ones the country disclosed in August, when Kim inspected another demonstration of drones that explode on impact.

The drones flew various routes and accurately struck targets, KCNA said. Its images showed what appeared to be a BMW sedan being destroyed and old models of tanks being blown up.

In 2022 alone, eight deaths were officially attributed to human sacrifices, while 85 were due to witchcraft-related violence. These numbers, however, are likely underreported, as many cases go unnoticed due to fear, societal pressures, or lack of legal awareness
