North Korea claims to have successfully launched a military spy satellite into space. The British media BBC reported that the country launched it at midnight on Wednesday (November 22), ignoring the condemnation of neighboring countries. According to the report, such a satellite could be deployed to give early warning to Kim of a possible attack. As a result, more accurate planning and decision-making will be possible when dealing with the enemy.
State news agency KCNA reported that the military spy satellite named Maligyong-1 had successfully entered space orbit. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un observed the launch of this satellite.
According to news reports, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been planning to launch a spy satellite in space for a long time. In his interest, the satellite was launched ahead of schedule.
The satellite launch was originally scheduled to begin on Wednesday and end on November 30 at 11:59 pm local time.
In response to North Korea’s spy satellite launch, Japan says that North Korea’s efforts are a violation of UN resolutions. The UN Security Council has banned Pyongyang from launching satellites. They think that North Korea will test missile technology under the pretext of launching satellites.
Meanwhile, Kang Ho-pil, director of the operations department of South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, has warned that Seoul will take necessary measures against Pyongyang if the launch proceeds.
This is not the first attempt to launch a spy satellite into space; On the contrary, Pyongyang has tried and failed twice this year. This is their third launch attempt.
