As it stands 4 people have now been arrested including the likely official sacrificial lamb the State run news agency revealed today.
Quote:Ri Hyong-son, deputy director of the ruling Workers' Party's Munitions Industry Department, was "largely responsible for the serious accident" last week, state-run news agency KCNA said on Monday.
The 5,000-ton destroyer had tipped over and damaged its hull, in what Kim described as a "criminal act" that "severely damaged the [country's] dignity and pride".
The vessel is being repaired under the guidance of an expert group, KCNA said.
Mr Ri, who is part of the party's Central Military Commission, is the highest level official arrested over the incident so far.
The commission commands the Korean People's Army and is responsible for developing and implementing North Korea's military policies.
Over the weekend, Pyongyang also detained three officials at the northern Chongjin shipyard, where the destroyer was built and where its launch failed.
The officials were the chief engineer, its construction head and an administrative manager.
Kim earlier said Wednesday's incident was caused by "absolute carelessness, irresponsibility and unscientific empiricism".
