North Korea's Satellite Launch Fails Miserably.
North Korea has called its botched military satellite launch last month the "gravest failure" at the ruling party's latest key meeting. The meeting also discussed ensuring self-sufficiency in food supply by increasing the country's agricultural output and meeting the annual grain production target. North Korea also vowed to continue developing its nuclear capability and strengthening solidarity with other countries that oppose what it called the "U.S. strategy for world supremacy." The country is under strict international sanctions over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, and its economy has been further strained by strict self-imposed border lockdowns aimed at stopping COVID-19 outbreaks.
