North Korea's recent naval destroyer launch failed, prompting leader Kim Jong Un to label it a "criminal act caused by absolute carelessness." The incident damaged parts of the warship and is viewed as critical due to its implications for state authority. Kim ordered repairs before a significant Workers' Party Central Committee meeting scheduled for late June. This failed launch involved the Choe Hyon-class destroyer, with preparations indicating a new, unusual side-launch method that may be necessitated by the construction location's lack of incline.
North Korea's state media reported the failure of a new naval destroyer launch, with Kim Jong Un calling it a "criminal act caused by absolute carelessness."
Kim stated that repairing the destroyer is a political necessity related to the state's authority, ahead of a key Workers' Party meeting later this month.
