North Korea nuclear test

Ankit Panda, the Stanton Senior Fellow in the Nuclear Policy Program at CEIP, on North Korea’s military build-up, the international response, and the potential for South Korea to go nuclear.

Kim Jong Un's trip to Russia was generally analyzed for its impact on the Ukraine War, but it will also have lasting implications for Korean Peninsula security dynamics.

Kim Jong Un told officials and scientists at a state nuclear weapons institute they must ramp up bomb fuel production to meet his goals to expand his nuclear arsenal “exponentially.”

After conducting a record number of missile launches in 2022, North Korea will narrow down the scope of its nuclear weapons development. 

In the 2022 Nuclear Posture Review, the United States reiterated its firm stance over North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats.

The top diplomats from the three countries met in New York on Thursday to coordinate the joint response over North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats.

Kim Jong Un discussed major agendas of his country’s military with his officials, raising speculation that a seventh nuclear test is imminent.

Hours after U.S. President Joe Biden wrapped up his trip to South Korea and Japan, North Korea test-fired three ballistic missiles, including a suspected ICBM.

Pyongyang may resort to a nuclear test when it fails to prevent the spread of the coronavirus nationwide. 

North Korea conducted its 15th missile test this year, believed to be a submarine-launched ballistic missile.

In a Politburo meeting held on Wednesday, North Korea implied that its “confidence-building measures” can be withdrawn after the U.S. imposed sanctions over its ballistic missile tests.  

Logically, the U.S. public should be more concerned about North Korea’s program. But the data suggests otherwise.
