North Korea Goes Nuclear! Kim Jong Un Inspects New Destroyer, Strategic Cruise Missile Launch

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un showcases Pyongyang’s growing naval might during a high-profile inspection of the 5,000-ton destroyer Choe Hyon at the Nampho shipyard. Kim oversees the test launch of “strategic” cruise missiles from the warship and declares that North Korea’s push to arm its navy with nuclear weapons is making “satisfactory progress.”Calling the destroyer a “new symbol of sea defence capability,” Kim orders the construction of two major warships every year for the next five years, signalling an aggressive expansion of Pyongyang’s naval strike power and its ambition to field nuclear-capable forces at sea.
