{"content":"North Korea’s 5,000-Ton Choe Hyon-Class Destroyer Sinks During Inauguration North Korea's highly anticipated naval advancement turned into a national embarrassment as the new Choe Hyon-class destroyer capsized during its launch ceremony in front of Kim Jong Un. Designed as a symbol of rising maritime strength, the 5,000-ton warship never made it to sea. Reports suggest a critical failure in the launch mechanism caused the vessel to tip and sink. Kim has condemned the incident as a “criminal act” and is reportedly furious with former Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, blaming Russian naval technology for the catastrophic failure.","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025052025/05/24/c3ff770250364cccb343a8fd5813cf59.png"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":[],"quotearticleid":0}
