North Korea Unveils Images of New Nuclear-Powered Submarine
North Korea has released new images of its first nuclear-powered submarine, showcasing significant progress on a vessel comparable to U.S. Navy attack subs. This development comes amid heightened tensions, as South Korea receives U.S. support to pursue its own nuclear submarines.
The submarine, with a displacement of 8,700 tons, is part of Kim Jong Un's military expansion plan announced in 2021. Experts warn this could escalate instability in the region, with North Korea's military buildup seen as a direct challenge to its neighbors. Analyst Leif-Eric Easley notes that while this arms race may increase tensions, North Korea's own actions have contributed to the situation.
