American nuclear submarine docked in South Korea
An American submarine equipped with nuclear weapons docked in South Korea, and this action is considered a show of force against North Korea.
The United States says this is the first time in over forty years that such an event has occurred.
Washington has agreed to send this submarine in response to what it views as the growing threat from Pyongyang, as North Korea continues to develop new weapons despite international sanctions.
Last week, North Korea tested an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Washington and Seoul have become closer since the inauguration of South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol last year.
