North Korean submarines have been faraway from the general public record of the Worldwide Maritime Group solely a day after they have been listed, with South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Workers wanting into circumstances surrounding the curious transfer.
The South’s JCS mentioned Friday that the beforehand listed North Korean submarines might now not be discovered on the IMO’s World Built-in Delivery Data System.
“North Korea has withdrawn its registration (of the submarines), and the motivations behind the choice stay to be analyzed,” JCS spokesperson Col. Lee Sung-jun advised reporters.
“Our JCS and the Navy are carefully monitoring the related developments.”
The JCS believes the submarines have been taken off the IMO record on the request of North Korea.
Whereas North Korea had registered some army vessels with the IMO previously, that is the primary occasion of its submarines being placed on the record.
