The 17m-long Daedong-B model is a 4m-wide and 2.2m-high mini-submarine with the rear of the vessel designed like a ramp to enable agents to get on and off easily.
North Korea is capable of carrying out attacks with its mini-submarines, along with its Yono-class submersibles, according to Joongang Daily.
