With Russia's Putin raising a terrifying prospect of using tactical nuclear weapons after battlefield losses in Ukraine, there’s fear that this normalization of threats is emboldening North Korea's Kim with his still incomplete nuclear program. By APklug
A recent two-week barrage of missile launches was meant, according to North Korean media, to simulate the use of its tactical battlefield nuclear weapons to “hit and wipe out” potential South Korean and U.S. targets. It’s believed to mark the first time that North Korea has performed drills involving army units tasked with the operation of tactical nuclear weapons.
North Korea is still working to perfect its nuclear-tipped missile technology, but each new test pushes it closer to that goal. It would also have a devastating political impact, marking the first time nuclear weapons have been used since World War II and prompting rapid escalation that could end in all-out nuclear conflict.
“North Korea is paying as much attention to the situation as anyone,” Park said. If Putin gets away with using nukes without suffering major repercussions, North Korea will see that as boosting its own nuclear doctrine, Park said.

Research team reveals surprising findings on cyclic material fatigue in amorphous materialsResearchers at The University of Tokyo have shown that for amorphous materials, cyclic material fatigue can begin to fracture at the same level of stress as fractures due to constant loading. By using computer simulations, the team was able to distinguish four distinct failure modes. This work could improve the lifetime of industrial machinery.
