Kim Jong Un banned suicide, calling it an "act of treason against socialism," per Radio Free Asia. The number of suicides in North Korea is believed to be skyrocketing, it said. Kim ordered local authorities to take action to prevent people from killing themselves, per the report. Data was provided on the number of suicides, which included examples of entire families ending their lives, the official said, per Radio Free Asia. In the neighboring province of Ryanggang, another official told Radio Free Asia that suicide was impacting the community more than starvation, while mentioning a similar meeting.

SEOUL, Feb 24 (Reuters) - North Korea has test-fired four strategic cruise missiles during a drill designed to demonstrate its ability to conduct a nuclear counterattack against hostile forces, its state media said on Friday. The missiles were not announced by South Korea or Japan, which often detect and publicly report North Korean launches. U.S. and South Korean officials took part in a tabletop, or simulated, exercise that focused on the possibility of North Korea using a nuclear weapon, the Pentagon said on Thursday. North Korea has forged ahead steadily in developing and mass producing new missiles, despite sanctions imposed by United Nations Security Council resolutions that ban the nuclear-armed country's missile activities. North Korea could test-fire ICBMs on a lower, longer trajectory and conduct its seventh nuclear test this year to perfect its weapons capabilities, South Korean lawmakers said on Wednesday, citing intelligence officials.

☆ Over a million North Koreans could be drinking water contaminated by underground nuclear weapons tests, study says

Over a million North Koreans may be drinking water contaminated by nuclear material, a report says. The groundwater was likely contaminated by underground nuclear weapons testing. The report also warned of the danger posed by produce sent from North Korea to Japan and China. Between 2006 and 2017, North Korea is believed to have carried out six nuclear tests at the underground site, which is located in the mountainous North Hamgyong Province. Punggye-ri was closed down in 2018 and partly destroyed after North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un pledged to halt nuclear weapons tests as part of a short-lived agreement with President Donald Trump.
☆ Groundwater carries radiation risk for North Korean cities near nuke test site, rights group says

North Korea secretly conducted six tests of nuclear weapons at the Punggye-ri site in the mountainous North Hamgyong Province between 2006 and 2017, according to the U.S. and South Korean governments. It also said that neighbouring South Korea, China and Japan might be at risk due partly to agricultural and fisheries products smuggled from the North. When North Korea invited foreign journalists to witness the destruction of some tunnels at the nuclear test site in 2018, it confiscated their radiation detectors. The ministry said, however, that it could not establish a direct link with the nuclear site. The rights group urged a resumption of testing and an international enquiry into the radiation risks for communities around Punggye-ri.
