North Korea said it righted a capsized destroyer and moored it at a pier in a northeastern port as it continued to repair the warship Kim Jong Un described as a significant asset for his nuclear-armed military.
The report by North Korean state media aligned with South Korean military assessments and recent commercial satellite images, which indicated that the ship was in an upright position and floating in the harbour of Chongjin, according to the North Korea-focused 38North website.
