- Satellite images reveal North Korea moved its damaged warship, which partially capsized during a launch last month, to Rajin dockyard for repairs.
- The 5,000-tonne destroyer, North Korea's second known, was damaged during its launch ceremony on May 21, leading Kim Jong Un to call it a “criminal act”.
- The Centre for Strategic and International Studies reported the warship is now in a graving dock at Rajin Ship Repair Factory, with critical parts covered to limit visibility.
- Experts say the ship's hull will be examined to determine restoration steps, with potential transfer to the fitting out dock for weapons and systems installation after repairs.
- Kim Jong Un blamed officials for the failed launch, detaining several involved and ordering the ship's restoration before a ruling party meeting.
