North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited the Choe Hyon naval destroyer during a military exhibition on Sunday, according to state media outlet KCNA.
During the visit, Kim emphasised the importance of the nation's navy being prepared to "thoroughly deter or counter and punish the enemy's provocations."
This statement underscores North Korea's ongoing focus on enhancing its military capabilities amid regional tensions.
The Choe Hyon is a 5,000-ton multipurpose destroyer that North Korea unveiled earlier this year. The vessel is equipped with advanced weaponry, including supersonic and strategic cruise missiles, anti-aircraft systems, and electronic jamming capabilities.
Kim Jong Un has previously described the ship as a "breakthrough" in modernising North Korea's naval forces.
