The DPRK authorities have announced another successful test of their underwater drone capable of carrying nuclear weapons. This was reported by the Korean Central Telegraph Agency (KCNA). As specified in the state news agency of the country, the time spent by the device under water was more than 70 hours.

It is worth noting that the test of the radio-controlled device for the Haeil-2 underwater attack, conducted by the National Defense Research Institute of the Republic, took place from April 4 to April 7 in the port of Kajin in the province of South Hamgyong. The nuclear device overcame a distance of 1 thousand km under water in 71 hours and 6 minutes. According to KCNA, yesterday the device returned to the specified area, thereby reaching the place of the simulated target, as a result of which the test warhead exploded underwater.

Here is what follows from the agency 's message:

These tests demonstrated the reliability of the underwater strategic weapons system, as well as its ability to deliver a fatal blow. All this will significantly strengthen the military potential of the Armed Forces of our country

Recall that a similar test has already been conducted by Pyongyang as part of the exercises that started on March 21. Then the Heir drone spent approximately 60 hours at a depth of 80 to 150 m, arriving 2 days later at the designated point in the Hongwon Bay. The next tests of this kind took place in the period from March 25 to 27, during which the Haeil-1 underwater vehicle was involved. He was in the Sea of Japan for 41 hours and 27 minutes, while the length of the route was 600 km. The non-nuclear warhead was also successfully detonated underwater in this case.
