North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was accompanied by his daughter, Kim Ju-ae, at a ceremony launching a new 5,000-ton destroyer, state media said on April 26. In a 67-minute broadcast, Korean Central Television (KCTV) showed Kim and Ju Ae aboard his armored private train before arriving at the Nampo Shipyard.

North Korea says leader Kim Jong Un observed the first test-firings of missiles from a recently launched destroyer and called for speeding efforts to boost his navy’s nuclear attack capabilities.

Reuters reported that North Korea's new class of warship was able to accommodate dozens of vertical launch cells to carry missiles its military has already developed.
