N. Korea's Kim calls for bolstering naval power to 'thoroughly' punish enemy
Korea Herald | English | News | Oct. 8, 2025 | North Korea
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited the country's first 5,000-ton destroyer, the Choe Hyon, urging the bolstering of the naval combat force to deter, counter, and punish enemy provocations. The visit took place during a military hardware exhibition and was attended by key party and government officials.
The Choe Hyon, unveiled in April as part of North Korea's naval enhancement efforts, is equipped with supersonic strategic cruise missiles, tactical ballistic missiles, and other strike weapons. Kim emphasized the need for the navy to operate effectively in the vast ocean to defend national sovereignty and security interests.
Kim also stated that the Workers’ Party would persist in accelerating the expansion and growth of the naval combat force. North Korea recently repaired and relaunched another destroyer of the same class, the Kang Kon, after it was damaged during an initial launch attempt. The country plans to build an additional 5,000-ton destroyer by October 2026.
