North Korea plans to launch a rocket apparently carrying its second military spy satellite by early next week.
Associated PressSouth Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol talks to Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Chinese Premier Li Qiang, duo not pictured, during their trilateral meeting at the blue house in Seoul, South Korea Monday, May 27, 2024. – North Korea on Monday announced plans to launch a rocket apparently carrying its second military spy satellite by early next week, drawing quick, strong rebukes from neighbors South Korea and Japan.
North Korea's planned launch likely would be an attempt to put its second military spy satellite into orbit. South Korea’s military said Friday it detected signs of suspected preparations to launch a spy satellite at North Korea's main Tongchangri launch facility in the northwest. Kishida said he strongly urged North Korea to cancel the launch plan. China is a North Korean ally, and Li didn't mention the North Korean launch plan.
That suggests North Korea would use the same first and second stages of the rocket as before, said Chang Young-keun, a missile expert at the Seoul-based Korea Research Institute for National Strategy.
