North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has instructed the mass production of kamikaze drones, escalating military advancements amid growing tensions. 

Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea, supervised a field trial of domestically manufactured kamikaze drones this week, according to state media reports released on Friday.

On Thursday, the news agency KCNA published images depicting Kim and two other senior officials overseeing the deployment of several blurred unmanned aircraft. According to the report, these prototypes were developed by a research facility linked to North Korea’s Unmanned Aerial Technology Complex (UATC).

Boosters facilitate the launch of weapons, while engineers investigate different airframe designs. One model reportedly features a cross configuration with four wings. The report also included photographs showing attacks on various targets, such as a tank struck from above at a steep angle.
