North Korea appears to be preparing to launch its 2nd spy satellite, South Korean military says

Associated Press  

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea appears to be preparing to launch its second military spy satellite into space, South Korea’s military said Friday, as animosities remain high over the North’s continued weapons tests. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un later told a key governing party meeting that his country would launch three additional military spy satellites in 2024. On Friday, South Korea’s military told local reporters at a background briefing that it detected signs that North Korea is engaging in activities believed to be preparations to launch a spy satellite at its main Tongchangri launch facility in the northwest. After launching its Malligyong-1 spy satellite on Nov. 21, North Korea said it had transmitted imagery of key sites in the U.S. and South Korea, including the White House and the Pentagon.
