In Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine, a train carrying grains experienced a derailment near the city of Simferopol. The incident caused eight wagons to overturn, resulting in the scattering of grain across the area. Following the derailment, emergency response teams from the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations were dispatched to the scene. No casualties or injuries were reported. A crane was brought in to lift the derailed wagons, while the railway line connecting Simferopol and Sevastopol was temporarily closed for traffic.
North Korea announced the successful testing of missile and artillery systems on its new 5,000-ton warship, “Choe Hyon,” launched last week. The vessel tested supersonic and strategic cruise missiles, anti-aircraft systems, and a 127 mm cannon, with Kim Jong-un overseeing the drills.
Kim called for accelerating the navy’s nuclear armament, stating, “It is time to strengthen our maritime nuclear deterrence.” He highlighted the role of high-tech weapons in modern warfare and ordered continued production of warships and nuclear-powered submarines.
The ship, named after “anti-Japanese revolutionary” Choe Hyon, will enter service early next year. Its launch marked the 93rd anniversary of North Korea’s military founding.
