North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was present this week at maritime tests, including inspecting a next-generation destroyer of the Choe Hyon class and successfully launching a cruise missile from a submarine. These activities took place after the Congress of the Communist Party, where Kim emphasized the importance of strengthening military capabilities, including the country's nuclear arsenal. He also mentioned the necessity of building two surface ships annually, as part of a five-year plan. The tests were conducted in the context of international tensions, including recent attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran, targeting its nuclear program. A third ship is under construction, according to the official KCNA agency.
