North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has commissioned the country’s second naval destroyer, state media reported on Monday. The vessel equipped with nuclear-capable missiles was launched Sunday, the day before the US, South Korea and Japan started their latest trilateral military exercise, which Pyongyang sees as a security threat. North Korea has continued to dial up pressure on Washington after rebuffing US President Donald Trump’s conciliatory move to scale back US participation in a major military drill with South Korea last month.
