North Korea Plans Nuclear Expansion To 300 Warheads By 2035
The United Nations has issued a warning regarding North Korea's accelerating nuclear weapons development. The update describes a growing arms race that poses a significant threat to regional and global security. This follows recent escalations in the peninsula's military posture. North Korea plans to produce up to 20 nuclear warheads per year, according to a Bloomberg report. The nation currently possesses approximately 50 warheads. Analysts suggest the total could reach nearly 300 by 2035. This expansion could allow North Korea to match France's nuclear potential and surpass several other nations. The production process is expected to take about five weeks per stage, which may cause delays.
