North Korea leader orders mass production of attack drones
North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un has ordered the “mass production” of attack drones.
The state media, KCNA, reports that the development comes amid concerns over the country’s deepening military cooperation with Russia.
Pyongyang first unveiled its attack drones in August. However, experts said the capability may be attributable to the country’s budding alliance with Russia.
Kim on Thursday oversaw a test of drones designed to hit both land and sea targets.
“He underscored the need to build a serial production system as early as possible and go into full-scale mass production,” KCNA said.
The unmanned drones are designed to carry explosives and be deliberately crashed into enemy targets, effectively acting as guided missiles.
Thursday’s test saw the drones “precisely” hit targets after flying along predetermined paths, KCNA reported.
“The suicide attack drones to be used within different striking ranges are to perform a mission to precisely attack any enemy targets on the ground and in the sea,” the agency said.

Cholera outbreak: Ebonyi LG chairman bans ceremonies
The Chairman of Izzi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, Mr Steven Nwankpa has banned all forms ceremonies in the area following the recent outbreak of cholera.
The state government had on Thursday, through the Commissioner for Health, Dr Moses Ekuma, announced the death of 11 people in Ndibokote, Ezzainyimegu community of the council as a result of the outbreak.
Nwankpa, who commended health workers for their support, described the incident as shocking and appealed to residents of the area to suspend any burial ceremony or mass gathering until further notice.
A stakeholder from the community, Elder Stephen Nwamkpuma linked the outbreak to some members of the community who brought home some pieces of beef from a burial ceremony in Benue State. According to him, after eaten the meat, the people started vomiting resulting to the spread of the disease.
The village head, Chief Lazarus Iziogo who lauded the Ebonyi State government for its quick response, urged the government to come to their rescue by building motorized boreholes in the community as they have been relying on pond and stream water despite the outbreak.
