More dangerous than nuclear: North Korea creates biological weapons - The Sun

American intelligence has found that North Korea has biological weapons in its arsenal since the 1960s and that the DPRK is more likely to apply biological weapons than nuclear. North Korea creates microbial sprays and poisonous pens that can spread deadly diseases such as smallpox and anthrax.

This was reported by the Sun, referring to US Intelligence in particular, the US State Department states that the DPRK has a purposeful offensive program of biological weapons at the national level, and has a technical ability to produce bacteria, viruses and toxins that can be used as Biological agents for military purposes.

"Pyongyan is likely to be able to equip combat poisonous substances with unconventional systems such as sprayers and devices for injection of poisonous handles that have been deployed by the DPRK for the delivery of chemical weapons and can be used for hidden delivery of combat poisonous substances," the report said.

American intelligence has found that North Korea has biological weapons in its arsenal since the 1960s and that the DPRK is more likely to apply biological weapons than nuclear.

The Sun writes that the greatest concern is that North Korea has industrial capacity for mass production of these weapons and its further distribution through missiles, drones, aircraft and sprayers. "While nuclear programs can be monitored by the number of nuclear testing and the success of rocket tests, the creation of weapons and the cultivation of pathogenic microorganisms may remain invisible than closed doors.

Moreover, the equipment used for the production of biological weapons is often dual purpose for rural farms that make external monitoring and inspection virtually impossible, "the US State Department reports.
