The image shows the warship lying on its side, covered by large blue tarpaulins. An official investigation into the accident - which Kim described as a "criminal act" - has begun, state media reported on Friday. None of the reports mentioned any casualties or injuries as a result of Thursday's incident in the eastern port city of Chongjin. "The hull starboard was scratched and a certain amount of seawater flowed into the stern section through the rescue channel," KCNA reported.
