SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea has tested a new tactical weapon, the North’s official news media said on Friday, reporting that Kim Jong-un witnessed the event in his first publicized visit to a weapons test site since the country test-launched its intercontinental ballistic missile last November.
State media did not identify the weapon, and the test did not appear to violate the voluntary moratorium North Korea imposed on nuclear and long-range ballistic missile tests this year. Still, Mr. Kim’s renewed activities at weapons test sites could complicate the already stalled talks between North Korea and the United States over how to remove the North’s nuclear weapons.
North Korea tends to use the prospects of rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula as leverage when negotiations with Washington do not go in its favor. In recent weeks, it has issued vague threats that it might resume testing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles should the United States continue to refuse to make concessions like easing sanctions.
On Friday, the North’s official Korean Central News Agency said Mr. Kim visited the testing ground of the Academy of Defense Science, the center of weapons development in North Korea, and “supervised a newly developed ultramodern tactical weapon test"

Anything from the NYT should have fake news and BS posted all over the article.

“I don’t drink now. Stopped because don’t feel well and I’m recovering. When I was in NK, I used to drink when seeing friends. I could drink 5 to 7 bottles of soju in one sitting”

Here on FR....
This always somehow oddly giving North Korea the benefit of a doubt, and dismissing any reports whatsoever by military intelligence professionals, satellite companies, photo interpretation gurus, etc. (and also keeping our mouth shut now about THE most horrid human rights abuses on the planet continuing against Christians in North Korea) just because the President says they can be trusted and Kim Jong Un is a “nice guy who loves his country”... is getting just a bit tedious. When can we finally have the President come clean, level with us, quit telling us it is only rain when the North Koreans are pissing on his leg, and then lemming like, once again we can swing back to the common sensical default position and be AGAINST and VERY SKEPTICAL of lying, cheating, horrid North Korea as we always were?
