SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea's unusually active month of missile testing appears aimed at securing global acceptance of its sanctioned weapons programmes, analysts said, whether through concessions or simply winning tired acquiescence from a distracted world.
North Korea may feel safe taking advantage of the pandemic and Washington's preoccupation with crises such as Russia and Ukraine to fulfil leader Kim Jong Un's orders to advance its nuclear weapons and missile capabilities during his five-year plan, analysts said.
