North Korea\u2019s Kim Jong Un<\/a> observed launches of two cruise missiles and three anti-ship missiles from his prized new warship, the 5,000-ton-class destroyer Choe Hyon, state media claimed Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The cruise missiles flew for more than two\u00a0hours\u00a0and the anti-ship missiles for more than 30 minutes along pre-set trajectories over the country\u2019s western seas before accurately striking their targets on Sunday, according to North Korea\u2019s official newspaper Rodong Sinmun.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One image released by the Korean Central News Agency showed Kim standing next to North Korean<\/a> officials while watching a projectile fly away from the ship. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Kim has hailed the development of the Choe Hyon, which was first unveiled in April 2025,\u00a0as a major step toward expanding the operational reach and preemptive strike capabilities of his military.<\/p>\n

NORTH KOREA FIRES MISSILES TOWARD SEA AFTER RIDICULING SOUTH’S HOPES FOR BETTER TIES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

State media claim the warship is designed to carry a range of systems, including anti-air and anti-ship weapons as well as nuclear-capable ballistic and cruise missiles. South Korean officials and experts say the vessel was\u00a0likely built\u00a0with Russian\u00a0assistance<\/a>\u00a0amid deepening military ties, but some experts question whether\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0ready for active service, The Associated Press reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After Sunday\u2019s tests, Kim said his government remained focused on the “limitless expansion” of its nuclear forces and issued unspecified new tasks to sharpen the country\u2019s nuclear attack and rapid-response capabilities. He also reviewed plans for the weapons systems for his third and fourth destroyers currently being built, Rodong Sinmun claimed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NORTH KOREA RELAUNCHES WARSHIP THAT SUFFERED EMBARRASSING FAILURE DURING INITIAL LAUNCH<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

North Korea unveiled a second destroyer of the same class in May last year \u2013 the Kang Kon —\u00a0but it was damaged during a botched launch at the northern port of Chongjin. It later was relaunched in June following repairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

State media says a third destroyer under construction at the Nampo shipyard on the country\u2019s western coast is expected to be completed by the ruling Workers\u2019 Party\u2019s founding anniversary in October, according to the AP.<\/p>\n

North Korea also conducted a series of tests last week that state media said involved various new weapons systems, including ballistic missiles armed with cluster-bomb warheads, while its senior officials issued statements ridiculing South Korean hopes for warmer relations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Associated Press contributed to this report.<\/i>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
