North Korea has been pursuing its nuclear ambitions for decades, focusing on the development of both nuclear weapons and the delivery capabilities needed to fire them. Experts believe that North Korea has stockpiled up to 60 nuclear weapons, with the ability to reach cities throughout the Korean peninsula and beyond. According to some estimates, North Korea may even have enough plutonium for as many as 18 more weapons.<\/p>\n
The international community was unanimous in condemning North Korea’s nuclear capabilities and its refusal to cooperate with any attempts to contain them. UN Security Council Resolution 2375, which was passed in 2017, imposed a full ban on North Korea’s nuclear program and the development of any related technology. Despite this, North Korea continued to focus on its development, which eventually led to the UN’s decision to take military action.<\/p>\n
The UN attacked North Korea in an effort to halt its development of nuclear weapons and delivery capabilities. The attack, which was carried out by a multinational military force led by the US, involved air strikes and the use of ground forces. The resulting conflict lasted four days, with North Korea suffering heavy losses.<\/p>\n
