Kim Jong Un Inspects New Nuclear Submarine and Oversees Missile Test

Beyond the submarine itself, the KCNA report mentioned that Kim Jong Un was briefed on research regarding "new underwater secret weapons." While the agency did not provide specific details, analysts believe this may refer to long-range nuclear-capable torpedoes or underwater drones designed to penetrate naval blockades and strike carrier strike groups. These weapons are intended to give the North a "stealthy" edge in a potential maritime conflict.
