North Korean President Kim Jong Un has called for rapid mass production of exploding drones. North Korea has conducted tests of exploding drones designed to crash into their targets, with leader Kim Jong Un urging the acceleration of mass production of these weapons, according to state media on Friday.

Overnight Russian attacks on Ukraine have killed one person in the southern port city of Odesa, according to officials. Meanwhile, state media in North Korea says Kim Jong Un has recently sanctioned the "mass production" of suicide drones.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called for the mass production of attack drones after Pyongyang accused Seoul of flying unmanned aerial vehicles in the airspace over its capital in what it called a “war provocation.
