Test allegedly successful: North Korea boasts of having a "high-tech" weapon

North Korea has reportedly tested a new "high-tech" weapon. This has been communicated to the state media. It is unclear exactly what the new weapon should look like. One thing is clear: the test is closely followed in the United States.

North Korea has successfully tested a new "high tech weapon". State media reported the existence of the new tactical weapon, but did not explain what the new development looked like. However, the weapon will strengthen North Korea's defense capability and combat strength, the media reported.

The Kim Jong Un rule followed the attempt of the National Defense Research Academy and was unable to remove its "pbadionate joy" from its success.

"Signal in the USA"

Pyongyang had announced in April the cessation of nuclear weapons and missile testing of North Korea. This has largely contributed to the alleviation of the conflict on the Korean peninsula.

A return to the tests would be a blow for the diplomatic efforts. However, until now, nothing suggests such a type of weapon test. Instead, the use of the word "tactical" in the description of the new weapon indicates that no long-range ballistic missile and no nuclear explosive device have been used.

Yang Moo Jin, from the University of North Korea. Studies in Seoul told AFP that the test was a "signal to the United States" indicating that North Korea was losing "its patience" in the negotiations.

Another meeting planned by Kim and Trump

In June, Kim and US President Donald Trump met in Singapore for a landmark summit in which North Korea's denuclearization was agreed upon. The agreement, however, has remained vague – and since the meeting, talks have boggled. In the coming months, there will be a second Trump meeting with Kim.

Pyongyang calls for a relaxation of sanctions imposed on the country. Washington, on the other hand, first demands a "final, fully verified" denuclearization.
