North Korea tests cluster warheads

The tests involved the 'Hwasongpho-11 Ra' missile and were conducted from the country's eastern coast.

Analysts suggest the use of cluster munitions and fragmentation mine warheads signals a shift toward more lethal and difficult-to-intercept delivery systems.

This is the second such test this month, occurring amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing war in the Middle East.

The international community has condemned the launches as a violation of UN security resolutions and a threat to global stability.
