N. Korea's Kim inspects cruise missile launch from new destroyer

BEIJING - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un observed a cruise missile launch and other weapons tests of a warship, including naval artillery, automatic machine guns and electronic warfare systems, ordering it to be commissioned into service within two months, state-run media said Sunday.

The tests of the 5,000-ton destroyer Kang Kon's combat systems were held Friday after Pyongyang commissioned another warship, the Choe Hyon, in late June as part of its efforts to boost naval combat capabilities.
