UN Warns About Possible Miniaturized Nuclear Devices Created By North Korea

The United Nations had given a warning about possible nuclear devices developed by North Korea.

In the latest report, North Korea is currently accused of developing nuclear devices that can fit in ballistic missiles. In a confidential UN report, some countries claimed that North Korea has possibly created miniaturized nuclear devices since it is working on its nuclear weapons program.

It was claimed that the warheads are small enough to fit inside missiles, which could give North Korea the ability to target distant countries, including the U.S., by sending nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missiles. Japan's 2019 defense white paper also believed that North Korea's military build-up might pose a real and imminent threat.

One of the anonymous country in the UN report said that the regime might continue to develop the miniaturization process. This would allow North Korea to incorporate technology improvements such as penetration aid packages or, possibly, to create multiple warhead systems.
