朝鮮半島情勢加劇,外媒報導,北韓領導人金正恩目前正在東海加強海軍潛艇作戰能力,不排除可能計畫使用潛艇發射核彈。兩年前,北韓在軍事演習上突然有70%軍艦 (約50艘) 消失在雷達上,引起南韓與日本高度關注,懷疑北韓是否會偷偷進攻。

前中情局專家、智庫學者克林納 (Bruce Klingner) 受訪表示,「當時我們不知道北韓的軍艦在何處。我們希望能緊盯那些可能發射彈道飛彈的潛艇。」事後南韓大動作利用雷達搜尋,重新找到軍艦所在位置,不過仍有部分軍艦消失了4天左右。
去年北韓新浦南造船廠 (Sinpo South Shipyard) 一系列核彈潛艦衛星照曝光,照片顯示他們正在進行一項有關核彈潛艦建造的海軍計畫。分析師貝幕德 (Joe Bermudez) 表示,「這2現象顯示這些潛艇很可能已經下水,或者在不久將來就會潛入海底。」

由於潛射飛彈比陸基發射飛彈更難以偵測,加上北韓去年8月已成功測試一枚潛射飛彈,雖然目前金正恩的動向仍不明,國際仍持續高度關注。
據悉,北韓可能在15日國慶日「太陽節」(北韓國父金日成105歲冥誕) 進行第六次核武試爆。對此,美國國防部回應,如果發現北韓有進行核爆的徵兆,將採取先發制人的行動,可能發射長程戰斧巡弋飛彈。
