North Korean leader Kim Jong Un observed tests of newly developed reconnaissance and attack drones, calling for increased production to enhance the country’s military capabilities. The drones, including exploding ones with artificial intelligence capabilities, demonstrated the ability to track targets and monitor troop movements on land and at sea. Kim approved plans to expand production and prioritize drones and AI in modernizing the armed forces. Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have escalated as Kim expands his military capabilities, which include nuclear-capable weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles. North Korea has also aligned with Russia in supporting its efforts in Ukraine, potentially strengthening its nuclear-armed military through technology transfers. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff reported that North Korea sent around 3,000 additional troops to Russia in January and February, supplying ammunition and various weapons. The report also indicated that around 4,000 of the approximately 11,000 North Korean troops sent to Ukraine have been killed or injured in the war. The South Korean Defense Ministry did not immediately comment on the North Korean drone tests.
