North Korea's recent naval destroyer launch ended in a disastrous accident, with the 5,000-tonne vessel tipping over during the ceremony. Kim Jong-un called the incident a "criminal act" due to carelessness and irresponsibility. The damaged ship, the second large destroyer launched recently, needs repair before a key party meeting in June. Officials responsible will be punished. The incident, openly reported by North Korea, may indicate a new approach to controlling information and officials. South Korea observed the damaged ship and some analysts speculate the vessel's construction involved Russian assistance.
