North Korea will aim to create “psychological terror” by launching the so-called “Juche Bird” missile after the coronavirus seemingly slowed the weapon’s development, an expert claims. Professor Sung-Yoon Lee, from Tufts University’s Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in the US, claimed that If such a test took place, Pyongyang would attach a live nuclear warhead to an intercontinental ballistic missile.The weapon would then travel across the Pacific Ocean before exploding, marking the world’s first atmospheric nuclear test since 1980.Professor Lee believes the pandemic may have slowed progress – but believes such a test is almost inevitable.
