North Korea on Thursday showed apparent progress in the construction of a nuclear submarine, with state media pictures showing a largely completed hull, as leader Kim Jong Un condemned rival South Korea’s push to acquire the technology.
Mr Kim visited a shipyard to inspect the construction of what the North has described as an 8,700-tonnne nuclear-propelled submarine and which the leader has previously called a crucial step in the modernisation and nuclear armament of the navy, the state news agency KCNA said.
