The guided-missile submarine Michigan arrived Friday, a day after North Korea resumed missile tests to protest U.S.-South Korean live-fire drills.
The Michigan arrived at the southeastern port city of Busan, they said, but didn’t comment on how long it would stay in South Korean waters.
With the arrival of the Michigan, the U.S. and South Korean navies are to conduct drills to boost their special operation capabilities and joint ability to cope with growing North Korean nuclear threats, the South Korean Defense Ministry said in a statement.
Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, slammed the Biden-Yoon summit agreements, saying they revealed the two countries’ “most hostile and aggressive will of action” against the North. She threatened to further bolster her country’s nuclear forces.
On Thursday, North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast, shortly after it vowed responses to the just-ended South Korea-U.S. firing drills near the Koreas’ heavily armed border.
South Korea’s Defense Ministry said Friday that military search crews have salvaged what it believes is part of the crashed North Korean rocket. The ministry released photos of the white, metal cylinder, which some experts said would have been the rocket’s fuel tank.
