A North Korean naval destroyer damaged in a botched launch last month was successfully set afloat on a second attempt, with leader Kim Jong-un presiding, state media said.
A ceremony for the ship baptised the Kang Kon – after a top North Korean general killed in the 1950-53 war – was held on Thursday at the Rajin shipyard, up the coast from where the botched attempt occurred, according to Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency.
