North Korea defended its spy satellite program as its "legitimate right as a sovereign state" during a speech to the UN Security Council. The country's ambassador denied seeking intercontinental ballistic missile technology and criticized UNSC resolutions infringing on its rights. North Korea's second attempt to launch a spy satellite failed due to a malfunction, following a previous failed attempt in May.

North Korea plans to make another launch attempt in October.
