Kim Jong-un: Nordkoreas Machthaber beaufsichtigt Waffentests auf Marinezerstörer

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has overseen further weapons tests involving missile launches and electronic warfare systems from the naval destroyer 'Kang Kon.' According to state media KCNA, Kim observed the tests from a coastal observation point surrounded by officials. He ordered the completion of the destroyer's trial phase and its commissioning into the navy within two months. The 'Kang Kon' had previously capsized during its launch ceremony in May 2023, which Kim attributed to negligence and irresponsibility, demanding accountability for those involved. Recently, Kim announced plans to arm North Korea's navy with nuclear weapons and build new 10,000-ton warships. Despite international sanctions, North Korea continues advancing its nuclear and missile programs, formalizing its status as a nuclear power in its constitution in 2023. The country has conducted frequent rocket tests along its maritime border with South Korea since early 2022.
