North Korea has been devastated by severe flooding in its northern province, with over 4,000 homes inundated and 5,000 residents cut off.
In response, Russia has stepped forward with a humanitarian aid offer, which North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has warmly accepted.
However, Kim has rejected South Korean aid, despite their offer of assistance.
What does this mean for regional dynamics and international relations?
Watch as we break down the latest developments, explore the geopolitical implications, and analyze the strategic choices made by North Korea and its allies.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited the Russian Embassy in Pyongyang to honor Soviet soldiers, marking 80 years since Nazi Germany's defeat. Standing beside top officials and his daughter, Kim called Putin his “closest friend” and condemned the rise of “neo-Nazism” in Europe. He accused Ukrainian forces of invading Russia and confirmed that DPRK troops helped defend the Kursk region. Under a 2024 treaty with Russia, Kim warned that North Korea may intervene again militarily if Western-backed assaults continue.

China has reportedly tested a cutting-edge, non-nuclear hydrogen bomb built from magnesium hydride, generating a searing fireball over 1,000°C that lasted 15 times longer than traditional TNT. Developed by researchers at China’s 705 Research Institute, this new explosive tech could reshape future battlefield weapons, mimicking thermobaric effects. The bomb offers precise control, extreme heat, and widespread damage potential. The successful test, revealed in a Chinese journal, hints at Beijing’s rapid military innovation. Mass production of the explosive compound has also begun, signaling broader deployment plans ahead.
