North Korea says it has tested exploding drones designed to hit targets and leader Kim Jong Un called for accelerating their mass production.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called for the mass production of attack drones after Pyongyang accused Seoul of flying unmanned aerial vehicles in the airspace over its capital in what it called a “war provocation.

Kim Jong Un watched a test of suicide drones and wants production of the aerial weapons ramped up. North Korea's latest military operation came as the US, South Korea and Japan engaged in combined military exercises.
