North Korea's Kim Yo Jong announces successful launch of military satellite.

Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, accused the United States of hypocrisy for criticizing North Korea's failed launch of a military spy satellite, insisting a successful launch will be made soon. She said North Korea's efforts to acquire space-based reconnaissance capabilities were a legitimate exercise of its sovereign right and restated the country's rejection of U.N. Security Council resolutions that ban it from conducting any launch involving ballistic missile technology. The U.S., South Korea, and Japan had quickly criticized the launch.

North Korea to Launch First Military Spy Satellite in June.

North Korea announced it will launch its first military spy satellite in June, claiming space-based reconnaissance is crucial for monitoring US and South Korean military exercises. Japan's defense minister warned its forces to shoot down the satellite or debris if any entered Japanese territory. While North Korea's rivals have condemned the country's planned launch as a banned test of ballistic missile technology, it's less clear whether the satellite itself is advanced enough to support the North's stated goals of tracking and monitoring US and South Korean military activities in real time.

North Korea to launch first military spy satellite in June, Japan on alert.

North Korea is set to launch its first military reconnaissance satellite in June, which it claims is for monitoring US activities. The move has drawn criticism over its potential use of banned missile technology. The launch would be the North's latest in a series of missile launches and weapons tests, including one of a new, solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile last month. Japan and South Korea have condemned the move, calling it a violation of UN sanctions, while the US State Department has warned that any North Korean launch using ballistic missile technology would violate UN resolutions.

North Korea's Kim Jong Un and daughter inspect military spy satellite ahead of launch

The US State Department has warned North Korea that it will use "a number of tools" to hold the country accountable if it proceeds with an illicit satellite launch. The launch would violate multiple UN Security Council resolutions, as it would use ballistic missile technology. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reportedly completed a military spy satellite this week, which could be launched using banned technology in the coming weeks. The State Department has promised to crack down on North Korea if necessary, using a range of tools at its disposal.
