North Korea has escalated tensions by testing ballistic missiles armed with cluster-munition warheads, raising fresh concerns over regional security. According to CNN, Pyongyang confirmed that its latest weapons tests include advanced systems designed to expand its nuclear-capable arsenal. State media Korean Central News Agency reported that Hwasong-11 missiles were used in the test, capable of low-altitude, manoeuvrable flight to evade missile defences while delivering cluster warheads over wide areas. The development comes amid heightened tensions with South Korea, a key U.S. ally, and signals North Korea’s continued push to strengthen its military capabilities. Analysts also point to possible influence from Iran’s recent use of similar warheads in conflict scenarios, raising fears of evolving battlefield tactics.
