North Korea North Korean leader Kim Jong-un orders mass production of suicide attack drones: Reports
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ordered 'mass production' of suicide attack drones, media reports said.
The North Korean leader recently witnessed the test of the weapons.
Kim provided on-site guidance for the tests of various types of suicide attack drones, produced by an affiliated institute of the Unmanned Aerial Technology Complex the previous day, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said as quoted by South Korea's Yonhap.
"The suicide attack drones to be used within different striking ranges are to perform a mission to precisely attack any enemy targets on the ground and at sea," the KCNA noted as quoted by Yonhap.
Kim affirmed that his country has "full possibility and potentiality to produce and introduce various types of drones" and would seek the possibility of combining and applying "new and promising tactical methods" as required by modern warfare.
North Korea had disclosed the performance test of the suicide drones for the first time in August.
It was reportedly overseen by Kim.
