North Korea reportedly re-criticized a warship after North Korea tilted in its launch attempt, which sparked severe criticism from its leader Kim Jong-un.

The state-run news agency KCNA reported on Friday that the ship "safely enters the water vertically" and then "drone at the dock."

KCNA said it is expected to conduct a full repair at a key meeting hosted by KIM, which will be attended by major officials.

The 5,000-ton destroyer can be seen upright at the dock, and then about three hours later Professional news websites 38 North and NK News in satellite images published in satellites.

North 38 researchers say the effort to correct the ship is a manual process, noting that satellite imaging showed workers pulling cuts on the dock and using barrage to bring the ship back to balance.

They added that some balloons still appear to be attached to the boat.

Kim Jong Il witnessed the distribution of the warship during a failed launch about two weeks ago, criticizing the incident as a "criminal act" and "seriously undermined the dignity and pride of (the country).

He added that this is the result of "absolute careless, irresponsible and unscientific empiricism."

At least four officials, including Ri Hong-Son, deputy director of the ruling Workers' Party's ammunition industry, was arrested for the incident.

RI is part of the party’s Central Military Commission, which commands the Korean People’s Army and is responsible for formulating and implementing North Korea’s military policies.

It is unclear what punishments officials may face, but the sentence officials are determined to know that the secret dictatorship is a charge of forced labor or even death because of the crime of wrongdoing.

Some analysts believe Kim's rapid response to the early failed launch is a signal that Pyongyang will continue to improve its military capabilities.

Jihoon Yu, a researcher at the South Korean Institute of Defense Analysis, said the regime "in-depth investment in the image of rising military power" and that failures could make them unwaveringly push forward the determination.

He said Kim’s “extremely serious” response to failure was designed to protect the image of the leader and reestablish his authority.

North Korean expert Michael Madden from Washington's Stimson Center saw Kim's response as a sign of "high priority" whose regime is developing warships.

In the weeks before the outbreak, Pyongyang unveiled similar warships in another part of the country.

Kim said the warship called it a "breakthrough" in modernizing North Korea's naval modernization and said it will be deployed early next year.
