South Korea launches its 2nd military spy satellite amid animosities with North Korea

Associated Press  

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea has successfully launched its second military spy satellite into orbit, days after North Korea reaffirmed its plan to launch multiple reconnaissance satellites this year.

South Korea’s first spy satellite launch on Dec. 1 was made from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base. South Korean Defense Minister Shin Wonsik said Monday that North Korea will likely go ahead with its second spy satellite launch soon to mark the April 15 birthday of state founder Kim Il Sung, the late grandfather of Kim Jong Un.
