New satellite photos indicate North Korea is building a submarine capable of firing ballistic missiles and that preparations are being made for a possible test.
New satellite imagery seems to confirm North Korea's recent claim that it has built a new submarine capable of launching ballistic missiles that could carry nuclear warheads. According to analysis by a Washington think tank the photos also indicate that North Korea may be preparing for a new test of a submarine launched ballistic missile.
Analysis by the Center for Strategic and International Studies' Beyond Parallel says the new submarine is likely a successor to North Korea's existing experimental SINPO-class ballistic missile submarine. The new satellite images show support vessels and a crane, suggesting possible preparations for another test of a submarine launch test from a barge towed out to sea.
President Donald Trump has downplayed the nine short-range ballistic missile tests that North Korea has carried out since May because they are not included in his agreement with Kim to not test long-range ballistic missiles or nuclear weapons.
