South Korea partially suspends inter-Korean agreement after North’s satellite launch

LA Times

South Korea decided to partially suspend an inter-Korean agreement and restart front-line aerial surveillance of North Korea, hours after Pyongyang claimed to have put its first military spy satellite into orbit in violation of United Nations resolutions, officials in Seoul said. South Korea’s military said it concluded that the North Korean spy satellite had entered orbit as the North claimed. Heo Tae-keun, South Korea’s deputy minister of national defense policy, said at a televised briefing that the North’s latest satellite launch was not only a clear violation of the U.N. resolutions but also “a grave provocation that threatens our national security.” Heo said South Korea decided to respond by partially suspending the 2018 inter-Korean agreement Wednesday and resuming aerial surveillance activities at the border. When the North’s National Aerospace Development Administration announced what it called a successful launch of its Malligyong-1 spy satellite, it said the satellite would help improve the North’s war-readiness in the face of “the enemies’ dangerous military moves.” The agency said North Korea would soon launch several more spy satellites to better monitor South Korea and other areas. Before Tuesday’s launch, South Korean officials said North Korea was probably receiving Russian technological support for its spy satellite launch program as part of the two countries’ push to boost their partnership.
