N. Korea's Kim visits destroyer built to 'punish provocations'

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited one of the country's warships, saying the 5,000-ton destroyer should "punish the enemy's provocations", state media reported Monday.

 The Choe Hyon is one of two 5,000-ton destroyers in the North's arsenal, both launched this year as Kim seeks to ramp up the country's naval capabilities. The warship "is a clear demonstration of the development of... (North Korea's) armed forces," Kim said during his visit on Sunday. Kim has vowed to build a third destroyer of a similar class by October next year.
