North Korean leader Kim observes weapons tests from new naval destroyer
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervised tests of a nuclear-capable cruise missile and other weapons aboard the 5,000-ton destroyer Kang Kon, which was damaged in a failed launch last year. The tests, observed from shore, aim to strengthen North Korea's nuclear-armed navy, with Kim ordering the vessel for active duty within two months.
