    North Korea claims ‘radioactive tsunami’ weapon test drone at sea

    Associated Press

    By Kim Tong-Hyung

    SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea claimed Friday to have tested a nuclear-capable underwater drone designed to generate a gigantic “radioactive tsunami” that would destroy naval strike groups and ports. Analysts were skeptical that the device
    presents a major new threat, but the test underlines the North’s commitment to raising nuclear threats.

    The test this week came as the United States reportedly planned to deploy aircraft carrier strike groups and other advanced assets to waters off the Korean Peninsula. Military tensions are at a high point as the pace of both North Korean weapons tests
    and U.S.-South Korea joint military exercises has accelerated in the past year in a cycle of tit-for-tat responses.

    Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency said the new weapon, which can be deployed from the coast or towed by surface ships, is built to “stealthily infiltrate into operational waters and make a super-scale radioactive tsunami through an
    underwater explosion” to destroy enemy naval strike groups and ports. ________________

    Reminds me of that test the US did against ships. They were shocked at how much radiation there was from sea water

    When I was growing up in the UK (mostly), the most dangerous places were Bootle in Liverpool (a primarily Irish area) and the Gorbles in Glasgow. In both places, the police only went in pairs, often accompanied by a dog.
