Pyongyang tests cluster-warhead missiles as tensions rise
North Korea said its three-day weapons tests this week included ballistic missiles armed with cluster-munition warheads, along with anti-aircraft and electromagnetic weapons. South Korea reported missiles launched from the eastern coast traveled about 240–700 km, and KCNA described the cluster-warhead launches on Hwasong-11 missiles as capable of destroying large areas. Seoul did not immediately comment. Pyongyang has suspended much diplomacy with Seoul and Washington while pursuing a broader nuclear-capable arsenal, as China’s Wang Yi prepares for a visit to the North.
