North Korea has salvaged a capsized destroyer and moored it at the northeastern port of Chongjin, state media confirmed Friday, as repair efforts continue on what Kim Jong-un has labelled a “significant asset” for the country’s nuclear-armed military.
The state-run Korean Central News Agency said naval experts will examine the vessel’s hull before moving it to a dry dock in the nearby port of Rajin, where restoration work is expected to take between seven and 10 days.
