South Korean military officials claim lasers composed of sustained, concentrated light beams used to overheat aerial targets are forthcoming at the Demilitarized Zone border with North Korea.
South Korea is preparing to launch a laser-based defense system that will more easily destroy drones flying in from the North. The 'Block-I' program, also referred to as 'StarWars' hopes to make South Korea the first national military in the world to weaponize directed light.

Supreme leader Kim Jong Un has abandoned any hopes of reconciling his hermit country with South Korea, instead embracing an unclear role in alliance with Russia and China.
