North Korea tests re-launched Kang Kon destroyer as it pushes toward a nuclear-enabled navy

North Korea’s 5,000-ton destroyer Kang Kon, after a botched May 2025 debut, is now seaworthy and testing its weapons—including a main gun, autocannon, and strategic cruise missiles—per state media; Kim Jong Un attended the tests and ordered the ship ready for active duty within two months, part of Pyongyang’s drive to build a nuclear-capable navy with two more destroyers, a 10,000-ton warship, and other projects such as the Hero Kim Kun Ok submarine launched in 2023.

Kim Jong Un orders launch of North Korea's first spy satellite.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un announced that the country has built its first-ever military spy satellite and plans to launch it soon. Kim cited the need for an operational military reconnaissance satellite to effectively use its nuclear-capable missiles. North Korea has conducted about 100 missile tests since the start of last year, including about 30 this year. The U.N. bans such launches by North Korea because it views them as cover for testing its long-range ballistic missile technology.

Kim Jong-un orders launch of North Korea's first spy satellite.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un announced that the country has built its first-ever military spy satellite and plans to launch it soon. Kim cited the need for an operational military reconnaissance satellite to effectively use its nuclear-capable missiles and to counter the "most hostile rhetoric and explicit action" by the United States and South Korea. Experts question whether North Korea has cameras sophisticated enough to use for spying from a satellite. The U.N. bans such launches by North Korea because it views them as cover for testing its long-range ballistic missile technology.
