Kim Jong Un unveils nuclear-missile-launching warship
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un unveiled a new naval destroyer capable of launching nuclear-capable ballistic missiles, escalating regional tensions. The warship, weighing 5,000 tonnes, is the first of a new class and equipped with "the most powerful weapons," according to state media. Kim stated the vessel enhances North Korea's military reach and pre-emptive strike capabilities, citing perceived threats. Kim vowed a decisive response to geopolitical developments, claiming the arms build-up is a response to US and allied military drills. Experts question the nation's ability to develop such technology.
