North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un Embarks on Rare Naval Inspection In a rare display of military might, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been spotted visiting a 5,000-ton destroyer, the Kang Kon, as it undergoes high-stakes capability tests. According to the country's official Korean Central News Agency, Kim's visit to the warship marks a significant escalation of the regime's naval ambitions, sparking concerns among regional powers about Pyongyang's military expansion.
