Can someone explain what's happened with North Korea?

I know, I should probably be more aware but have been unwell this week.

What's happened to bring all of this into the news this week?

I know Trump has bombed Syria so this caused tensions with Russia and I know he then bombed - a massive one by all accounts - an ISIS stronghold/tunnel system but I don't know why NR is suddenly involved. Can anyone explain? Thanks.

Isn't it just that election stuff has knocked it off the top items of news. It's still about. The ships Trump boasted of are now, today , heading that way instead of steaming in the other direction ( you couldn't make it up)
