North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un (click here) guided the test of a newly-developed high-tech strategic weapon, according to reports by South Korea news agency Yonhap.

North Korea's Korea Central Broadcasting Station (KCBS) said the weapon was "researched and developed for a long time", and that the test was successful, Yonhap reported.

It didn't specify what kind of weapon had been tested or when Kim's visit took place,

This was North Korea's first public announcement of continued military advancement since a diplomatic process with the U.S. and South Korea began earlier this year, Wall St Journal reported.

The report of the weapon testing comes amid uncertainty about a nearly year-long diplomatic process that began earlier this year.

This was the North Korean leader's first reported trip to a weapons facility since he declared in April that the country's nuclear and missile program were complete and that he was shifting the country's focus entirely to economic development.

The peace process between the two Koreas is moving forward with a demolition by South Korea of a guard post. The demolition was agreed upon the end of October. There are eleven in total to be demolished.

It seems South Korea needs to reassess it's position with this continuing unification process if there is a new mass destruction weapon of war developed by North Korea. South Korea is hesitant to engage in the joint industrial zone (click here).

South Korea has blown up (click here for video) one of its frontline guard posts on the border with North Korea, sending plumes of thick, black smoke into the sky in the most dramatic scene to date in the rivals' efforts to reduce tensions that sparked last year's fears of war.

Last week, the two Koreas finished withdrawing troops and firearms from some of the guard posts along their border before dismantling them.

The steps are part of agreements signed in September during a meeting between their leaders in Pyongyang, North Korea's capital.

On Thursday, South Korea's military invited a group of journalists to watch the destruction of a guard post with dynamite in the central border area of Cheorwon....

This is the peace agreement I remember which included denuclearization by North Korea. South Korea doesn't have nuclear weapons. Kim Jong Un promised he would go forward with denuclearization and nothing short of it.
