Seoul: N. Korea Developing Attack Drones Using US Technology

   VOA News

   South Korean media report that North Korea is developing unmanned
   attack aircraft using American technology imported from the Middle
   East.
   The reports, carried by Yonhap, say the drones are based on MQM-107D
   Streaker target drones and are believed to have come to Pyongyang
   through Syria.
   The Streakers can fly at 920 kilometers per hour and are commonly used
   for testing missiles.
   The media reports said North Korea is trying to attach explosives to
   the drones so they can launch suicide attacks, but the attempts have
   not been successful.
   Officials from North Korea have not commented on the reports.
