Earlier this week, Kim Jong Un also oversaw tests of North Korea's new "suicide drone" and urged researchers to develop artificial intelligence for unmanned vehicles.

The Pentagon said on Tuesday that the United States takes North Korea's "suicide drones" "seriously," while reiterating Washington's commitment to working with South Korea and other allies to ensure regional security.

"We obviously take that threat seriously and will monitor it closely," Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said at a news briefing.

US and South Korean officials have accused North Korea of supplying Russia with artillery shells, missiles and other equipment in recent months. Moscow and Pyongyang have denied the arms transfers but pledged to strengthen military ties.
