Kim Jong Un oversees strategic cruise missile tests from new naval destroyer

• North Korean leader Kim Jong Un inspected the test-firing of strategic cruise missiles from the new destroyer Choe Hyon.
• The tests were conducted from a shipyard in the port city of Nampo, ahead of the warship's commissioning.
• Kim described the destroyer as a "new symbol of sea defence" and the tests as a "core" element of its capabilities.
• Yonhap noted that North Korea's use of "strategic" weapons implies potential nuclear capabilities.
• This development follows North Korea's condemnation of US/Israel strikes on Iran and its defense pacts with Russia and China.
