North Korea says damaged destroyer repaired, relaunched successfully
KYODO NEWS - 5 minutes ago - 12:46 | World, All North Korea said Friday it has successfully repaired and launched a 5,000-ton destroyer that was damaged in a failed launch attempt last month, with leader Kim Jong Un attending a ceremony to mark the achievement at a shipyard in the country's northeast. During Thursday's ceremony at the Rajin shipyard, Kim revealed Pyongyang's plan to build two more destroyers of the same type annually, the official Korean Central News Agency said. In the incident at the Chongjin Shipyard on May 21, the 5,000-ton destroyer tipped over while on a flatcar, crushing some lower sections and preventing it from exiting the shipway, according to KCNA. The vessel remained partially capsized following the failed launch attempt, with Kim ordering it to be repaired before a plenary meeting of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea to be convened in late June. Kim said Thursday a worker had died during the repair work. He met with his family to console them, the news agency said. The newly launched warship is scheduled to be handed over to the navy around mid-2026. In April, Kim attended a ceremony for the launch of another new 5,000-ton destroyer at a shipyard in the western port city of Nampho. The multipurpose warship Choe Hyon, named after an anti-Japanese revolutionary fighter, is equipped with supersonic cruise missile systems and tactical ballistic missile systems. Kim said it will be deployed by the navy sometime next year, according to KCNA.

Iranian sex toy smuggler can stay in UK over persecution fears
An Iranian refugee who argued that he should not be deported from Britain because he was a 'sex toy smuggler' has been allowed to stay in the country. The asylum seeker, who has been granted anonymity, claimed that the Iranian authorities viewed him 'adversely' because of his illicit cross-border trade in boxes of vibrators and other adult devices. Sex toys are illegal under Iran's strict adherence to Islamic law. His argument was initially rejected by an immigration and asylum judge, who found that the man's evidence was implausible and 'inconsistent about the number of boxes he smuggled'. However, a higher-tier court has allowed him to remain in the UK on the grounds that he had been part of anti-Iran demonstrations and posted negative comments about
