North Korean leader Kim Jong Un inspected the construction of a new nuclear submarine with the aim of strengthening the country's strategic defense capabilities. This was reported by the Yonhap agency.
Kim Jong Un visited important shipbuilding factories and personally observed the ongoing construction process there. He emphasized that North Korea's maritime defense should be deployed fully and without restrictions in any necessary areas. According to him, these submarines will become a key part of the country's defense.
Nuclear-powered strategic submarine
The North Korean leader was introduced to the nuclear-powered strategic submarine being built in accordance with the defense strategy adopted at the party congress in 2021. This project is considered very important for the country, aiming to strengthen strategic superiority at sea.
North Korea has publicly disclosed information about its first submarine capable of carrying ballistic missiles. Kim Jong Un expressed satisfaction with the construction process, emphasizing that the new submarines are crucial for the country's sovereignty and defense.
A serious signal for the world
North Korea's efforts to build nuclear-powered submarines are raising significant interest and concern in the international arena. In particular, South Korea and the United States are interpreting this news as an expansion of North Korea's nuclear program.
Analysts believe that the construction of nuclear-armed submarines will significantly enhance North Korea's maritime attack capabilities. This could become an important topic in regional and international security discussions.
New submarine – new phase
North Korea's naval forces have previously built submarines, but this project stands out for its potential to carry nuclear weapons. This could represent a new phase in North Korea's defense system.
This project by North Korea could lead to new geopolitical crises in the world. South Korea and the United States have already sharply criticized Pyongyang's actions and are discussing strengthening security measures in the region.
