has arrived at a port in the South Korean city of Busan, the South Korean military said on Friday .
It is the first time in nearly six years that a submarine classified as"SSGN" by the US Navy, or a cruise-missile submarine, has stopped off in South Korea. The arrival comes after North Korea fired two short-range missiles off its east coast on Thursday and follows a failed attempt by Pyongyang to launch a spy satellite last month.
In April, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and US President Joe Biden agreed in Washington to"further enhance the regular visibility of strategic assets" on the Korean Peninsula. The leaders also agreed that a US Navy nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine will visit South Korea for the first time since the 1980s to help demonstrate Washington's resolve to protect the country from a North Korean attack. There was no timetable given for such a visit.
