North Korea has carried out several weapons tests under the leadership of Kim Jong Un, which has led South Korea to expand its own drone warfare capabilities.

在金正恩的領導下，北韓進行了多次武器測試，導致南韓也擴展自身的無人機戰爭能力。

On June 25, 2026, North Korea conducted a series of weapons tests to mark the anniversary of the Korean War. According to the state news agency (KCNA), these tests focused on special warheads for missiles, an improved rocket system with a 90 km range, and longer-range shells for artillery. These actions are part of a five-year plan to modernize the military and create high-precision strike capabilities. Kim Jong Un emphasized that these advancements are meant to create a strong offensive position to discourage enemies. Additionally, the launch of the Choe Hyon, a 5,000-ton destroyer, shows that North Korea is now integrating nuclear capabilities into its navy.

2026年6月25日，北韓為了紀念韓戰週年，進行了一系列武器測試。根據朝中社（KCNA）報導，這些測試重點在於飛彈的特種彈頭、射程90公里的改良火箭系統，以及火砲的遠程砲彈。這些行動是一個五年計劃的一部分，目標是將軍隊現代化並建立高精度打擊能力。金正恩強調，這些進步是為了建立強大的進攻陣勢，用以震懾敵人。此外，5,000噸級驅逐艦「崔賢號」的下水，顯示北韓目前正將核能力整合至海軍中。

In response, the South Korean Ministry of Defense announced a plan to improve its drone infrastructure. Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back stated that the military aims to train 500,000 'drone warriors' and buy more than 20,000 reconnaissance and attack drones. This change is due to the evolving nature of modern war and reports that Russia is sharing military technology with North Korea. Furthermore, President Lee Jae Myung has planned a $650 million investment in five defense companies by 2030 to strengthen national security.

作為回應，南韓國防部宣布了一項提升無人機基礎設施的計劃。國防部長安圭博表示，軍方目標是培訓50萬名「無人機戰士」，並購買超過2萬架偵查與攻擊無人機。這次轉變是因為現代戰爭性質的演變，以及有報導指出俄羅斯正與北韓分享軍事技術。此外，李在明總統計劃在2030年前向五家國防公司投資6.5億美元，以強化國家安全。

From a diplomatic perspective, it is unlikely that North Korea and the U.S. will improve their relationship soon. Kim Jong Un asserted that talks can only happen if the U.S. stops demanding that North Korea give up its nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, North Korea has strengthened its ties with Russia and China, as shown by a recent visit from President Xi Jinping. Consequently, North Korea continues to call South Korea its 'main enemy' while building more military facilities along the border.

從外交角度來看，北韓與美國短期內不太可能改善關係。金正恩主張，除非美國停止要求北韓放棄核武器，否則不會進行對話。與此同時，北韓強化了與俄羅斯及中國的關係，習近平主席最近的訪問便證明了這一點。因此，北韓繼續將南韓稱為「主要敵人」，同時在邊境沿線興建更多軍事設施。

The Korean Peninsula remains very tense, as both sides continue to increase their military power while diplomatic progress on nuclear weapons remains blocked.

朝鮮半島依然非常緊張，因為雙方持續增加軍事力量，而核武器的外交進展仍處於停滯狀態。
