A US nuclear-powered submarine has arrived at a port in the South Korean city of Busan, the South Korean military said on Friday.
It is the first time in nearly six years that a submarine classified as “SSGN” by the US Navy, or a cruise-missile submarine, has stopped off in South Korea.
The arrival comes after North Korea fired two short-range missiles off its east coast on Thursday and follows a failed attempt by Pyongyang to launch a spy satellite last month.
