00:00South Korea's Defense Minister Ang Yubek said on Monday that North Korea is likely receiving
00:06technology from Russia to advance its submarine program. Pyongyang has long aimed to develop
00:13submarines capable of launching ballistic missiles and has already test-fired missiles
00:18from underwater platforms. The comment comes as concerns grow over increasing military ties
00:26between Moscow and Pyongyang. However, Seoul says it remains uncertain whether Pyongyang has achieved
00:31a successful launch from an operational submarine. Over the past two years, the North Korean regime
00:37and Russia have deepened military cooperation, with Seoul estimating that Pyongyang has sent over
00:4210,000 troops to support Moscow in Ukraine in exchange for economic and technological aid.
00:49The United States has accused Russia of violating UN resolutions and urged it to stop all arms-related
00:55cooperation with North Korea.
