North Korea has salvaged a capsized destroyer and is repairing it at Chongjin port, with plans for restoration before a Workers' Party congress in late June. The vessel, deemed a significant asset for the military, was damaged during a launch and is under scrutiny by naval experts. Kim Jong-un criticized the incident as a serious failure, leading to arrests of officials. The destroyer is part of efforts to modernize North Korea's naval capabilities, with potential Russian support in its construction.
