Seoul, Muharram 09, 1436, November 02, 2014, SPA -- North Korea has launched a submarine that is capable of carrying ballistic missiles, a media report said Sunday, according to dpa. Pyongyang "imported a Soviet-era Golf-class diesel submarine and modified it," a South Korean government source told Yonhap News Agency. The submarine dates from the late 1950s and was taken out of service in 1990. The vessel is 67 metres long and 6.6 metres wide and has a displacement of around 3,000 tons, the source told Yonhap. Military officers in South Korea said that the North has not yet obtained the technology it needs to use submarine-launched ballistic missiles. --SPA 12:17 LOCAL TIME 09:17 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
