North Korea's Kim Jong Un faces embarrassment after a failed naval destroyer launch. The incident prompts an investigation and highlights military modernization efforts.

Kim Jong Un was reportedly enraged by the "sheer carelessness" leading to the botched launch of the regime's second destroyer.

He vows to punish as criminals those responsible for the failure, in which the ship had its hull torn open and ended up on its side in the water.

Two women who fled North Korea have been telling the United Nations about the plight of people still living in the country and urging the world body to hold North Korea’s leader accountable for gross human rights violations.

Song Sang-hyun said "the time is right" for Ukraine to file a complaint over North Korea's military assistance to Russia.
