North Korea has arrested four officials for a warship launch accident that left the vessel partially submerged. The accident, witnessed by Kim Jong Un, was deemed a "criminal act." Those arrested include a vice department director and shipyard engineers. Initial reports suggested repairs would take 10 days, but analysts believe it could take up to six months due to potential hull damage and the need for extensive interior cleaning. Satellite imagery shows the ship still tilted, mostly covered by tarps.
