North Korea Claims Successful Warship Launch On Second Try

North Korean officials celebrate a successful launch of a warship. The country's state media reported that the vessel, named after the country's founding leader, Kim Il Sung, US News reported, is the result of a top-secret shipbuilding program. It is the country's fourth warship and the first in a series of new advanced warships that Pyongyang plans to unveil in the near future. The launch came after a failed attempt on Sunday resulted in the destruction of the hull, according to The Guardian.
