However, just last month, North Korea had showcased a **5,000-ton destroyer** named **Choe Hyon.** During that unveiling, state media published images of Kim and his daughter **Ju Ae**, who many analysts speculate may be positioned to succeed him.\n  <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph\">\n    North Korea claimed that this **ship** was equipped with **the most powerful weapons**, and it was projected to **enter service** in early the following year. Analysts suggest that the **Choe Hyon** may potentially be fitted with **short-range tactical nuclear missiles**, though it remains unproven whether North Korea can effectively miniaturize its nuclear arsenal.\n  <\/p>\n<section class=\"catcher catcher--favoris\">\n<div class=\"catcher__content\">\n      <span class=\"catcher__title catcher__title--hide\">Read also |<\/span><br \/>\n      <span class=\"catcher__desc\"><br \/>\n        <span class=\"icon__premium\"><span class=\"sr-only\">Article reserved for our subscribers<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n        North Korea: A Diplomacy of &#8220;Survival&#8221;<br \/>\n      <\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<p>\n      <button class=\"lmd-btn-icon lmd-btn-icon--primary lmd-btn-icon--m js-lmd-dropdown-favorite-toggler\" \n              aria-controls=\"lmd-dropdown-favorite\" aria-label=\"Read later\" data-status=\"\"><br \/>\n        <span class=\"icon__favorites\"\/><br \/>\n        <span class=\"js-btn-icon-tooltip\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Read later<\/span><br \/>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"author\">\n<p class=\"author__detail\">\n      <span class=\"author__name\">The World with AFP<\/span>\n    <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"article__reactions\">\n    Reuse this content<br \/>\n  <\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" rel=\"dofollow\">Breaking News General &#8211; 1<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, accompanied by his daughter, attends a naval launch ceremony for the warship &#8220;Choe Hyon,&#8221; in a photo released on April 30, 2025, by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
