North Korea announced an underwater test of a new guided torpedo system that it says uses AI technology, Qatar News Agency reported on October 17, citing North Korean state media.

The official account described the exercise as an assessment of technical upgrades to the Zam-2.0 system. Claims about its capabilities remain attributable to Pyongyang; the report does not provide independent testing or verification. The announcement follows North Korea's stated push to expand technology use in domestic weapons programmes.
