Satellite pictures of the North Korean military shipyard made this month show that Pyongyang follows an aggressive schedule for building its first operational missile submarine.
The Washington-based "38 North" North Korea Monitoring Project publishes photos taken on November 5 showing the activity of Sinpo South Shipyard. The presence of parts of the submarine shell of the submarine implies the construction of a new submarine, probably under the SINPO-C underwater ballistic missile - a continuation of the current experimental submarine for SINPO ballistic missiles.
The report says that in 2017 there was a continuous movement of parts and components in and from both parts of the yards adjacent to the construction halls in the yard center.
The test stand images show continued testing of a missile launcher mechanism. However, the report says that no activity can be seen, which implies preparing for a new test and launching a missile submarine.
Here are the pictures attached to the report, which allegedly blamed North Korea in the production of a submarine capable of carrying nuclear weapons:
