North Korea's state news agency KCNA announced the successful upright restoration of a 5,000-ton naval destroyer that capsized following a failed launch in May. The destroyer is currently docked at Chongjin Harbor and is undergoing inspection by experts. Notably, a senior Workers' Party official emphasized a deadline set by Kim Jong Un for the ship's restoration. The failed launch was described as a 'criminal act' leading to an investigation and arrests. Additionally, the destroyer is North Korea's second after the recent unveiling of the Choe Hyon, potentially developed with Russian collaboration.
