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.
Japanese Defense Minister Minoru Kihara sayes the government has confirmed that "some object" launched by North Korea is "orbiting the Earth," after Pyongyang launched what it said was a reconnaissance satellite.
An emergency evacuation alert sent in error across Seoul over a North Korean rocket launch triggered widespread panic on Wednesday, crashing internet services and raising fears the government could not be trusted to handle a real crisis.
North Korean media said the country’s space agency will investigate “the serious defects revealed” by the launch and conduct a second launch as soon as possible.
