South Korea- South Korea held a ceremony for a new 3,000-ton submarine capable of launching ballistic missiles. Seoul’s defense chief Suh Wook said Tuesday the diesel-powered submarine brings pride to the South’s military and pays tribute to Korea’s independence fighters who died during Japan’s colonial occupation of the peninsula, JoongAng Ilbo reported. The new submarine is named after Ahn Mu, a Korean general in pre-colonial Korea, who was executed by Japanese police in 1924, after leading the Battle of Bongo-dong and Cheongsan-ri in 1920. Korea observed the 100th anniversary of the armed struggle between the Korean independence militias and the Japanese Army in Manchuria this year. (UI)
