N.K.'s test of cruise, anti-warship missiles from new destroyer

A missile is launched from the country's first 5,000-ton multipurpose destroyer, the Choe Hyon, in the Yellow Sea on April 12, 2026, as North Korea test-fires strategic cruise missiles and anti-warship missiles from the destroyer, in this photo released by the North's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on April 14. The North's leader Kim Jong-un, who observed the launches of two strategic cruise missiles and three anti-warship missiles fired from the destroyer, called for steadily bolstering a nuclear war deterrent, according to the KCNA.
