An increasingly provocative North Korea has fired off nearly three dozen ballistic missiles in 2022 – the most tests conducted by the Hermit Kingdom in any year, with several months left – and, amid reports that the country is expanding its test facilities, experts conclude it's just a matter of time before another nuclear test as part of despot Kim Jong Un's quest to transform his nation into an atomic heavyweight.
