North Korea relaunched its second Choe Hyon-class guided-missile destroyer at Rajin Shipyard, located on the northeast coast of North Korea on Thursday. The launch of the 5,000-ton Kang Kon (52) follows a failed launch on May 21 at the Chongjin Shipyard that capsized the ship.

North Korea has launched a 5,000-ton destroyer at the second try, state media reported on Friday, after the warship was damaged during an earlier botched attempt that had left it capsized in the water.
