North Korea Warship Capsized: Satellite Imagery Shows Vessel Upright
Recent satellite imagery has revealed that North Korea has managed to return its stricken Choe Hyun-class destroyer to an upright position after it partially capsized during a failed launching ceremony. The incident, witnessed by leader Kim Jong Un, has been a blow to the country’s dignity, prompting vows of punishment for those responsible for the mishap.
Commercial satellite images from June 2nd indicate that the 5,000-ton warship is now upright for the first time since the May 21st accident. This development comes as North Korea works diligently to restore the vessel to its former state.
Leader Kim Jong Un expressed disappointment over the accident, stating that it severely damaged the nation’s reputation. In response, he has promised to hold those accountable for the failed launch responsible for their actions.
Preventing Further Damage
Reports suggest that North Korea has taken additional steps to protect the damaged warship from further harm. Experts have observed the installation of balloons above the vessel, which had previously been laying on its side and partially submerged after the launch attempt.
The purpose of these balloons is believed to be twofold – to prevent espionage through drones and satellites, as well as facilitating the process of getting the ship back upright for repairs.
In light of these recent developments, it is clear that North Korea is committed to addressing the aftermath of the failed launch and restoring the integrity of its naval capabilities.
