North Korean leader Kim showcases new warship ahead of visit by China’s Xi

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has unveiled a new "tactical nuclear attack submarine" during a ceremony attended by his wife and top military officials. This event precedes a potential visit from Chinese President Xi Jinping, though no date has been set for that meeting. The submarine is reportedly capable of carrying nuclear weapons and is intended to bolster the country's naval power.

The introduction of a new nuclear-capable vessel by North Korea, especially ahead of potential high-level diplomatic engagement with China, signals ongoing military developments and regional geopolitical shifts.
