A United States nuclear-powered submarine arrived in south-east South Korea on Friday, in a port call that underscores the ongoing American military presence on the Korean Peninsula.

The visit comes amid continued tensions in the region, with the US regularly deploying strategic assets to South Korea as part of its commitment to the alliance between the two countries.
