N. Korea relaunches warship weeks after failed debut

North Korea held a second launch ceremony Thursday for a 5,000-ton warship , the same vessel that partially capsized during its debut last month.

State media says the destroyer, now named Kang Kon, after an anti-Japanese resistance figure, was rolled out again Thursday from the Rajin shipyard following full repairs.

Leader Kim Jong-un attended the ceremony alongside his daughter, Ju-ae.

According to North Korean media, he praised workers for restoring the vessel — one he personally watched tip over last month.

At the time, he ordered those responsible punished and called for repairs to be completed by the end of June.
