The Spin

Pro-North Korea narrative

In the lead-up to the 75th anniversary of the founding of the DPRK, factory workers, scientists, and technicians presented the Korean-style tactical nuclear attack submarine, which heralds the beginning of a new chapter for bolstering North Korea's naval force and further strengthening its nuclear deterrence for regional and global security.

KCNA Watch

Anti-North Korea narrative

Although there's little information about the new DPRK nuclear attack submarine, it bears clear signs of deception or exaggeration. It appears to be a conversion from an existing diesel-electric Romeo-class submarine, with only the potential nuclear attribute to launch nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles, if it can even function. This is nothing more than North Korean posturing.
