South Korea North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered navy vessels to be speedily armed with nuclear weapons, state media reported Wednesday, as Pyongyang conducted its first test-firing of a new warship weapons system.
This weekend, Pyongyang had unveiled its new warship, a 5,000-ton destroyer-class vessel named Choe Hyon, which some analysts said was likely to be equipped with short-range tactical nuclear missiles.
Kim oversaw the first day of a two-day weapons test of the destroyer, the official Korean Central News Agency said.
He then ordered officials to work on “accelerating the nuclear armament of the navy”, it added.
