North Korea conducted three missile tests earlier this month, including a missile with cluster bombs and a graphite bomb that disables electrical grids.

In February, North Korea listed new military capabilities it plans to develop over the next five years.

It includes AI-assisted drones, nuclear-capable cruise missiles, and anti-satellite weapons.

Pyongyang's biggest takeaway from Ukraine and Iran, though, is that its best insurance against being attacked is its nuclear arsenal.

Union leaders say they expect some 40,000 workers to join a rally for higher wages next week.

If that doesn't work, workers could go on strike next month, which they warn could cost Samsung up to around $20 billion in lost revenues.

High demand and high prices for memory chips used in AI servers helped Samsung's profits jump by 755% to $38 billion in the first quarter of this year on revenues of about $90 billion.

Unionized workers want 15% of operating profits to go into their performance-based bonuses.

Samsung's management, meanwhile, sought a court injunction this week to prevent the strike.

They claim they're not trying to violate workers' right to strike.

They're just trying to prevent disruptions to production.
