North Korea's nuclear capabilities are reportedly expanding significantly, according to IAEA chief Rafael Grossi. New uranium enrichment facilities at the Yongbyon complex suggest the country's ambitious strides towards nuclear armament.
Estimates reveal a stockpile of a few dozen warheads, as activity at North Korea's nuclear sites, including a critical reactor and reprocessing unit, intensifies. Despite satellite imagery confirming these developments, the IAEA reported no findings of Russian technology aiding the program.
Parallelly, South Korea's nuclear submarine development is under international scrutiny to ensure it avoids proliferation risks. The IAEA and South Korean authorities are aligning efforts to uphold transparency and security, amidst evolving geopolitical dynamics.
