Lider Kim Jong Un najoštrije je osudio ovu nesreću nazivajući je "kriminalnim djelom" koje ne može da se toleriše i upozorio da će odgovorni za ovaj incident snositi posljedice.
Nesreća se dogodila u brodogradilištu Chongjin, kada je 5.000 tona težak razarač izgubio ravnotežu dok je bio na transportnom vozilu, pri čemu su oštećeni dijelovi donjeg dijela broda, zbog čega brod nije mogao biti lansiran, prenio je Kyodo.
