SEOUL – North Korea plans to launch a satellite later in August, according to Japanese media, firing off a space rocket as South Korea and the US conduct joint military drills that have riled Pyongyang.
This would indicate that North Korea intends a similar, southernly flight path as was used in a failed attempt to put a satellite into orbit on May 31. It also slammed a meeting held on Friday among US President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol at theKCNA said the three leaders met “to detail, plan and formulate the nuclear war provocation on the Korean Peninsula”.
The US and its partners have warned that technology derived from North Korea’s space programme could be used to advance its ballistic missiles.
