North Korea has confirmed this Friday that he has relaunched his “strategic submarine nuclear weapon” from the kajin portin South Hamgyong province, which has reached the Ryongdae port in the same province, designed to “stealthily infiltrate operational waters and create a large-scale radioactive tsunami.”

Pyongyang tested its weapon named “haeil-2” (Tsunami-2 in Korean) between the days April 4 and 7as reported this Saturday by the North Korean state agency KCNA, in a new weapons test that coincides with the large military maneuvers that seoul and washington take place these days on the Korean peninsula. This is the third test announced by the Kim Jong-un regime since it reported for the first time on March 24 the existence of this new type of weapon, which he called “Haeil-1” in those previous tests. . On that occasion he remained submerged for 59 hours and 12 minutes.

The drone was launched from a port in the northeastern province of South Hamyong, traced an “oval figure-eight” trajectory during 71 hours in which he “simulated a distance of 1,000 kilometers” in the Sea of ​​Japan (called the East Sea in the two Koreas) and detonated a dummy warhead in the target area, according to the KCNA. “The test has perfectly demonstrated the reliability of the strategic underwater system and its ability of fatal attacks.” North Korea has explained, to which they have added that “the system will serve as a advantage for the armed forces of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and will be essential to contain all the military actions of the enemies, eliminate threats and defend the country”.

With that first pitch accused the United States and South Korea of being rehearsed “an exercise of ‘occupation’ of North Korea, in view of its forms and contents” during the joint military maneuvers that both countries are carrying out under the name of ‘Shield of Freedom’. These maneuvers, accused the North Korean country, “urgently require North Korea to prepare its entire Armed Forces structure for a war and strengthen its nuclear capabilities, both in quality and quantity.”

The test comes after Seoul reported yesterday that Pyongyang did not respond to regular phone calls made through civilian and military lines of communication, and as South Korea and the United States conduct joint military exercises, which in recent days they included anti-submarine tests and the deployment of B-52 strategic bombers. North Korea unveiled on March 24 its first test with the new system nuclear submarine, and on the 28th it announced a new test with it to verify its “reliability and safety”.

some experts they have questioned that Pyongyang may already have a weapon of this type in operational condition, which would be capable of generating a radioactive tsunami to hit enemy fleets and ports.
