North Korea Tests New Naval Weapon

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw new naval weapon tests, which included missile launches and the use of electronic warfare methods against the 5,000-ton destroyer "Kang Kum." It was clarified that these tests are part of efforts to enhance military deterrence and to achieve operational readiness of the destroyer within two months, following an incident last year that partially overturned during its commissioning. It is believed that the timing is linked to the 78th political anniversary of North Korea’s founding, while Pyongyang continues to prioritize maintaining its nuclear arsenal.
