North Korea commissions destroyer Kim calls nuclear-capable after earlier failed launch
x/north-koreans
— 6h
North Korea commissioned its second 5,000-ton Choe Hyon-class destroyer, Kang Kon, into the East Sea Fleet, with Kim Jong Un stressing that the vessel is part of the state nuclear counteraction system and he aims to build a nuclear-armed navy to deter rivals. The ceremony followed a prior botched launch, featured high-profile attendees, and Pyongyang signaled further naval expansion and an eight-month timeline to demonstrate enhanced capabilities.
