UNITED NATIONS ¨C North Korea is pressing on with its nuclear weapons program and several countries believe it has ¡°probably developed miniaturized nuclear devices to fit into the warheads of its ballistic missiles,¡± according to a confidential U.N. report.
The report by an independent panel of experts monitoring U.N. sanctions said the countries, which it did not identify, believed North Korea¡¯s past six nuclear tests had likely helped it develop miniaturized nuclear devices. Pyongyang has not conducted a nuclear test since September 2017.
The interim report, seen by Reuters, was submitted to the 15-member U.N. Security Council North Korea sanctions committee on Monday.
