A launch ceremony for a new North Korean naval destroyer went horribly wrong in front of 'supreme' leader Kim Jong Un, according to state media.
Kim watched on in horror as the 5,000-ton ship was severely damaged after failing to launch properly.
He declared the mishap a 'criminal act caused by absolute carelessness' that 'could not be tolerated'.
Kim has ordered the destroyer to be restored before a June party meeting, according to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
The outlet confirmed that during the ceremony on Wednesday 'a serious accident occurred'.
