North Korea said on Sunday that its latest 5,000-ton destroyer tested its weapons at sea.
It's a step closer toward active duty for the warship, which had a disastrous launch in June 2025.
The warship is the second of Kim Jong Un's destroyer class for a nuclear-capable navy.
North Korea's new naval destroyer, which suffered a botched launch last May, is now seaworthy and testing its weapons systems, state media reported.
The state-run Korea Central Television aired footage on Sunday of the vessel firing its main gun and autocannon, as well as several vertically launched missiles.
