North Korea Tests Upgraded 240mm Rocket Launcher

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un recently supervised the testing of an upgraded 240mm multiple rocket launcher system, which features enhancements in guidance, maneuverability, and strike precision. This development comes amid allegations that North Korea has been supplying significant quantities of artillery shells to Russia, with reports suggesting the transportation of around six million shells since 2022. Additionally, Kim expressed support for the production of suicide drones, emphasizing their role in military readiness. The ongoing military exercises conducted by the U.S. and South Korea have been labeled by North Korea as provocative, escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula. Analysts speculate that North Korea's military advancements could aid Russia in its conflict with Ukraine. As inter-Korean relations remain strained, North Korea continues to assert South Korea as its principal enemy.
