N. Korea’s Kim Supervises Test Launch of Cruise Missile
The test was carried out on the destroyer Choe Hyon a day prior, according to a state-run news agency.
During the test, Kim declared that arming the North Korean Navy with nuclear weapons "is making satisfactory progress."
The use of the term "strategic" is significant — Seoul-based media noted that Pyongyang's deployment of the descriptor typically signals that the weapons in question may carry nuclear capabilities.
Kim also voiced "satisfaction" over the destroyer's readiness ahead of its formal commissioning into active operations, while underscoring the critical role of a "powerful researchers group and shipbuilding industry" in advancing the country's military ambitions.
The test marks the latest in a series of high-profile weapons demonstrations by Pyongyang, raising fresh concerns among regional powers and Western allies over the accelerating pace of North Korea's naval nuclear buildup.
