Kim Jong Un orders construction of 10,000-ton destroyer ahead of Chinese President's visit
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has ordered the navy to build a 10,000-ton destroyer and develop secret underwater weapons, as Chinese President Xi Jinping prepares to visit Pyongyang early next week. Kim oversaw naval tests on June 5, boarding a 5,000-ton destroyer and observing another, according to state media. The activity comes amid an ongoing push to expand North Korea's nuclear arsenal and military capabilities.
