A research project named Beyond Parallel, confirmed these reports after analyzing satellite photos of Sinpo South Shipyard. The photos show support vessels and a crane that could be deployed to tow a barge out to sea for a submarine-launched test. However, the analysts says it’s unclear when or if a test could happen therefore citing a lack of conclusive evidence right now.
