U.S. Defense Officials: North Korean Sub Is Missing


FOX News: North Korea lost a submarine, defense officials say

North Korea has a missing submarine, two defense officials told Fox News Friday.

One official told Fox the submarine is a 70-foot Yono class "midget" submarine that is diesel powered and has a crew of two, with room for a squad of saboteurs. It was unclear who may have been onboard.

North Korea does not operate large ballistic missile submarines, such as the U.S. Navy’s Ohio-class fleet.

Fox News has learned North Korea has not asked the United States to assist in search and rescue efforts.

On Thursday, North Korea responded to new sanctions from South Korea by firing short-range ballistic missiles into the sea in a show of defiance and vowing to "liquidate" all remaining South Korean assets at former cooperative projects in the North.
