Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, May 24, 2025

Satellite images have for the first time shown the extent of a shipyard accident in North Korea that damaged a new warship in the presence of the secretive state's leader, Kim Jong Un. The image shows the warship lying on its side, covered by large blue tarpaulins. A portion of the vessel appears to be on land. An official investigation into the accident - which Kim described as a "criminal act" -- has begun, state media reported on Friday.

KCNA, North Korea's official news agency, downplayed the damage in a report on Friday, saying it was "not serious" and that, contrary to initial reports, there were no holes on the ship's bottom. "The hull starboard was scratched and a certain amount of seawater flowed into the stern section through the rescue channel," KCNA reported.
