IAEA Chief Warns of North Korea's Enhanced Nuclear Weapons Capacity
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, has highlighted North Korea's significant progress in nuclear weapons development. Speaking in Seoul, Grossi noted the probable addition of a new uranium enrichment facility and increased activity at the Yongbyon nuclear complex. This expansion suggests a serious increase in North Korea's capabilities to produce nuclear weapons. The IAEA has observed construction of a new facility similar to Yongbyon's uranium enrichment halls, indicating a significant expansion of enrichment capacity. Satellite imagery supports these assessments, showing the completion of a suspected uranium enrichment plant capable of producing weapons-grade material. Despite these developments, the IAEA has not found evidence of Russian technology being used in North Korea's nuclear program.
