North Korean leader Kim Jong-un condemned officials for a failed naval destroyer launch that damaged the vessel during its ceremony. He attributed the mishap to carelessness and unscientific methods and stated that steps would be taken to rectify these mistakes at an upcoming Workers' Party meeting. South Korean officials noted the damaged ship might still be overturned in the sea. Analysts suggest the incident, while embarrassing, indicates North Korea's commitment to modernizing its naval capabilities, even if it reveals operational shortcomings.
The failed launch was the result of "absolute carelessness, irresponsibility and unscientific empiricism." Kim vowed to address the "irresponsible errors" at a Workers' Party meeting.
It's a shameful thing. But the reason why North Korea disclosed the incident is it wants to show it's speeding up the modernization of its navy forces.
