North Korea confirmed the salvage of a capsized destroyer at Chongjin port, a vessel considered vital to its military. Repair efforts will take 7-10 days before it is inspected and potentially restored. Analysts noted the ship seems stable enough for the process, following a failed launch in May. Kim Jong-un criticized the initial incident, leading to the arrest of several officials. The restoration is expected to be completed before the Workers' Party Congress in late June, underscoring North Korea's ongoing military enhancements and political pressures.
