North Korea Reportedly Builds Two Submarines Able to Shoot Ballistic Missiles - FarsNews Agency

North Korea is building two new submarines able to fire ballistic missiles, the Yonhap news outlet reported, citing the South Korean National Intelligence Service.

The report comes in the wake of the ninth round of high-level talks between South Korea and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that will take place this week over North Korea’s nuclear programme and other related topics.

In October, North Korea demonstrated its latest military developments, a submarine-launched ballistic missile and a new intercontinental ballistic missile, at a massive parade marking the 75th anniversary of the founding of the ruling Worker’s Party.

Despite North Korea’s progress, Nam Sae-kyu, the head of the South Korean Agency for Defense Development, stated that South Korea’s technology is still much more advanced and the country’s military is able to intercept Pyongayng’s newly-developed missiles.

North Korea's nuclear programme has been subject to the concerns of the international community for decades now.
