North Korea recently tested a warhead with cluster bombs mounted on a ballistic missile and an electromagnetic weapons system, according to the state news agency KCNA. General Kim Jong Sik stated that these weapons are 'special active' for the North Korean army. The tests were conducted in the context of rising tensions with South Korea, which has been declared an 'enemy state.' Analysts believe that these tests represent a demonstration of strength of advanced conventional weapon systems, considering that North Korea possesses nuclear weapons. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is on a visit to North Korea, and speculation suggests a possible meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un. North Korea has stated that the tactical ballistic missile Hwasongpho-11 Ka can destroy targets over an area of up to 7 hectares. Experts emphasize that the development of these weapons would complicate Seoul's defense strategy, considering their potential to paralyze South Korea's industrial infrastructure.
