North Korean leader Kim Jong Un pledged to strengthen his country's nuclear capabilities following the departure of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
In September, North Korean media said the country had tested a new hypersonic missile, a train-based ballistic missile and a new long-range cruise missile, the BBC reported.
Current sanctions from the United Nations Security Council don't prohibit North Korea from testing cruise missiles. In January 2021, the country unveiled a new submarine-launched ballistic missile that it called"the world's most powerful weapon." International political experts told the aforementioned publication the country likely unveiled the weapon as a demonstration of the country's growing arsenal just as U.S. Democratic President Joe Biden took office.
Experts at the International Atomic Energy Agency said in September that North Korea's nuclear program has gone"full steam ahead." The country currently has the continued capacity to enrich uranium and take additional steps towards developing nuclear weapons. South Korea’s military has said that North Korea fired an unidentified projectile to its eastern waters.
