North Korea has launched the new "tactical nuclear attack submarine," capable of launching an underwater nuclear attack to strengthen Pyongyang's nuclear deterrence, the KCNA news agency reported on Friday.The ceremony for lunching the submarine was the "beginning of a new chapter" for bolstering up the naval forces of North Korea and "made clearer the steadfast will" of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and the North's government to "further strengthen the state nuclear deterrence both in quality and quantity and by leaps and bounds for regional and global peace and security," the report said. KCNA quoted the General Staff of the Korean People's Army in late August as saying that North Korea, in response to the US-South Korea drills, had carried out a tactical nuclear strike drill simulating nuclear strikes at the territory of South Korea. Two long-range strategic cruise missiles with payloads simulating nuclear warheads were then launched. The missiles flew along an 8-shaped trajectory of 1,500 kilometers (932 miles) in 7,672 and 7,681 seconds respectively before exploding at the altitude of 150 meters (492 feet) over the "target island."
