North Korea begins operating a satellite control office, the official Korean Central News Agency says, after last month successfully launching a spy satellite into orbit.
South Korea says its first spy satellite, launched the previous day on a U.S. rocket, has successfully entered orbit, just over a week after North Korea announced it had placed a reconnaissance satellite in orbit for the first time.
North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un has inspected pictures of "major target regions" in South Korea and the U.S. state of Hawaii taken by its recently launched military spy satellite, its official Korean Central News Agency says
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has said the country's launch of a military reconnaissance satellite earlier this week was "an exercise of the right to self-defense," official media reports.
