DPRK leader Kim Jong Un oversaw tests this week of a naval destroyer, claiming the country is making progress in “arming the Navy with nuclear weapons,” state media reported.
According to KCNA, Kim inspected a 5,000-ton “Choe Hyon”-class destroyer and observed performance tests, including a successful sea-to-surface cruise missile launch.
He said the developments mark a “radical change” in defending DPRK’s maritime sovereignty.
The tests follow a major Party Congress where Kim renewed calls for a military buildup.
Two destroyers have been launched, with a third currently under construction.
