A noun in the singular and plural in the same sentence?

I am learning English with one program and encountered there the following sentence:

North Korea has taken steps to strengthen their military power.

Is it correct?

I am inclined to say that it should be either:
North Korea have taken steps to strengthen their military power. or
North Korea has taken steps to strengthen its military power.
or both but not the original one.

It is good news that I am right, but definitely bad news that this program is wrong... Then I need to be vigilant when learning another sentences...

Thanks for your confirmation!
