North Korea says it has carried out a test of its "underwater nuclear weapons system" in response to drills by the US, South Korea and Japan this week.
The test of its supposedly nuclear-armed underwater drones took place off its east coast, state media reported.
The North has claimed tests of its "Haeil-5-23" system before but the weapons have never been independently verified.
North Korea’s underwater nuke-based countering posture "is being further rounded off and its various maritime and underwater responsive actions will continue to deter the hostile military maneuvers of the navies of the US and its allies," the report says.
South Korea and allies have yet to respond to the latest provocation.
