Days ahead of U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' arrival, Yonhap news agency reported on Saturday that South Korea's military had found indications that North Korea might be getting ready to test a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM).

As reported by a South Korean military source who asked to remain nameless and was quoted by Yonhap, the military found activities this week in Sinpo, South Hamgyong Province, North Korea. This is compatible with a research released this week by a U.S.-based think organisation that used commercial satellite pictures.

The presidential office of South Korea said in a statement on Saturday that President Yoon Suk-yeol is aware of indications and actions that might point to North Korean provocations, including SLBMs.
