North Korea as per state media reports published on Thursday, has tested an underwater nuclear drone that is capable of unleashing a "radioactive tsunami," which could destroy enemy naval vessels and ports. The new weapon system, as per reports, was deployed during the drills that the nation conducted from Tuesday to Thursday.

Blaming joint military drills by South Korea and the US for driving tensions in the Korean peninsula to an "irreversibly dangerous point," the nation said that these required Pyongyang's forces to "gird themselves for an all-out war and bolster up its nuclear force both in quality and quantity on a priority basis."&nbsp;

As per KCNA news agency, the North Korean military deployed the weapon system dubbed "Haeil", or tsunami, which is capable of setting off a "super-scale" destructive wave. The North Korean drone reportedly cruised for 59 hours and 12 minutes at a depth of 80 to 150 metres (260-500 feet).&nbsp;

"This nuclear underwater attack drone can be deployed at any coast and port or towed by a surface ship for operation," reported KCNA.

Kim Jong Un, the North Korean supreme leader, "guided" the drills and said that the exercise should serve as a warning to the United States and South Korea.

"He expressed his will to make the US imperialists and the South Korean puppet regime plunge into despair for their choice through the high-profile demonstration of the powerful war deterrence," KCNA said.

Additionally, KCNA verified that North Korea launched cruise missiles on Wednesday that were equipped with "test warheads simulating a nuclear warhead."

North Korea tests underwater nuclear drone capable of unleashing 'radioactive tsunami'

The South Korean military unveiled a "Kill Web" concept amid rising nuclear tensions with North Korea. In light of Pyongyang's ongoing development of nuclear and missile capabilities, Seoul is seeking an immediate and strategic plan to counter it.

The South Korean Ministry announced the plan at the beginning of March saying that it would now use the concept to eliminate threats from Pyongyang's advancing nuclear and missile capabilities even at their pre-launch stage, Eur Asian Times reported.

The killer concept aims to devise a prompt counterattack to any North Korean aggression against South Korea.

In recent months, Seoul has stepped up its cooperation with the US military and integrated advanced technologies, including AI.&nbsp;It explained that the 'Kill Web' is a multilayered integrated system that will use cyber operations, electronic warfare techniques and other strategies to prevent that adversary from attempting to fire a missile even before it has been launched.

The plan was introduced as a fundamental component of Military Innovations 4.0, by the Yoon Suk yeol government that will use the latest AI techniques to ensure that the country's army&nbsp;can win&nbsp;a war with minimum fatalities in the shortest period of time.

The Kill Chain is a part of Seoul's Three-Axis system, which entails deploying the Korea Massive Punishment and Retaliation (KMPR) campaign to neutralise its enemy's leadership and military infrastructure.&nbsp;

As per officials, the Kill Chain calls for moving in a single path whereas the 'Kill Web' requires frequent mission modification to ensure its efficiency.&nbsp;

The militaries of Seoul and Washington announced that they will continue with their large-scale annual military exercises despite North Korea’s vows to take unprecedented intense action against such drills.
