North Korea's Kim oversees naval destroyer, cruise missile test

North Korean state media reported on Thursday that leader Kim Jong Un oversaw tests this week of his country's naval destroyer, claiming Pyongyang is in the process of arming the Navy with nuclear weapons. The tests, including a launch of a sea-to-surface cruise missile, come shortly after Kim led a major once-in-five-years Party Congress.

Kim inspected on Tuesday a "Choe Hyon" class ship which is one of two launched last year and one of two 5,000-ton destroyers in the North's arsenal. The following day, he oversaw the missile launch from the ship according to the Korean Central News Agency.
