Recent satellite photos suggest North Korea could be preparing for fresh submarine-based ballistic missile tests, an expert on its military has said.

Joseph Bermudez, a specialist in North Korean defence and intelligence affairs, posted photographs on the 38 North blog of the US-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University, which he said could show preparations for a test of a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM).

That - the sub, Trump could take out, all by itself, and there should be no more reaction from North Korea, China or Russia than there was from South Korea and the U.S. when North Korea sunk the South Korean Navy ship, the Cheonan, in 2010.

No confirming photos, either.

Odd.

Weird.

Unconfirmed.
