A rare escalation this month between North Korea and South Korea exposed the increasingly lethal arsenals both are building up. They are doing so along the world's most heavily fortified border.
A rare escalation this month on the Korean Peninsula, where North Korea and South Korea face each other across the world's most heavily fortified border, has exposed how lethal the two sides' arsenals are becoming. The New York Times reports that both countries are building up weapons there.
The newspaper's analysis says the arms race is intensifying and that North Korea feels emboldened by its alliance with Russia. The headline indicates the report concerns missiles and drones.
The available excerpt of the source gives no further detail. It does not say what exactly happened this month, when, or which weapons were involved, so those details cannot be reported here without going beyond the source.
