North Korea is making progress toward having a nuclear-powered submarine.
NPR's Anthony Kuhn reports that the immediate goal is to prevent military clashes along the Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, dividing the two Koreas.
State media following that line accused South Korea's submarine ambitions, which I mentioned were backed by U.S.
According to the regime's Korean Central News Agency, he argued that, quote, "...super powerful offensive capability is the best shield for national security."
South Korea received a green light from the Trump administration in October to pursue its own nuclear-powered submarines.
If that figure is even close to accurate, it would represent a jump for the North Korean Navy, which has long relied on aging, conventionally powered vessels with limited endurance and survivability.
Released by state media, they show North Korean leader Kim Jong-un inspecting a massive guided missile submarine inside an indoor construction facility.
