38 North, a US website monitoring North Korea, reported Friday that a dry dock at the North's Sinpo shipyard on its east coast has recently been repositioned along the submarine launch quay, saying the move could indicate that the North's new ballistic missile submarine "may be nearing completion or is ready to be rolled out and launched in the near future."

North Korea has been building a new submarine, which is believed to be 3,000-tonnes and capable of carrying three submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). Pyongyang first unveiled it in July 2019.
