North Korea, under the supervision of leader Kim Jong Un, officially unveiled an imposing new 600mm multiple rocket launcher capable of firing nuclear warheads on Wednesday, February 19, 2026. State media reported Kim Jong Un described the system as unique globally and suitable for "special attack" missions, a euphemism for nuclear use, emphasizing its "deterrent" purpose and invincibility. Analysts suggest this innovation aims to enhance North Korea's precision strike capabilities against South Korea, including its capital Seoul, and the United States. The presentation may precede testing and potential export to Russia, whose partnership with North Korea has strengthened amid the Ukraine war.
