"International Community Sends Warning to North Korea Against Spy Satellite Launch"

South Korea has warned North Korea to halt its planned spy satellite launch, suggesting that it could suspend an agreement to reduce tensions and resume front-line aerial surveillance. North Korea has failed its first two attempts to put a spy satellite in space but vows to conduct a third attempt in October. The UN Security Council has banned North Korea from launching satellites, viewing them as disguised missile tests. South Korean officials believe the launch's delay is due to North Korea receiving technology assistance from Russia, as the two countries seek to increase transfers of weapons and technology.
