North Korea unveils AI-integrated missile capable of changing flight trajectory, leaving adversaries with 'no way to avoid'.

On October 3, North Korea announced it had successfully tested a medium-range strategic missile integrated with artificial intelligence (AI), just hours after South Korea detected Pyongyang launching a ballistic missile, according to AFP.

Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, said the missile launched on October 3 "is capable of changing its flight trajectory at low altitude and has incorporated AI," but did not elaborate further on how it operates.

Ms. Kim confirmed that this medium-range "strategic weapons" exercise was conducted facing the Sea of ​​Japan .

The exercise was directly supervised by Kim and carried out by "a special mission fire support unit."

Reiterating her point about AI technology and its ability to alter flight paths, Kim warned: "In other words, this means there is no way to avoid this attack."

According to her, the North Korean leader believes that "no country in the world will have access to such technology for at least the next few years."

Earlier that day, the South Korean military reported that North Korea had fired a ballistic missile that flew more than 700km toward the Sea of ​​Japan.

Citing announcements from Seoul and Tokyo regarding the missile's range, Kim argued that the tracking results from these two countries revealed limitations in their air defense radar capabilities.

Ms. Kim asserted that whenever Pyongyang "adopts a wave-like flight trajectory," South Korea "fails to track the target from the very first turning points."

Since the beginning of the year, North Korea has conducted more than 10 missile tests and often claims it is testing new weapons systems. Some launches are believed to be in protest against joint military exercises between Seoul and Washington.
