[HIGHLIGHTS] North Korea's "satellite" launch notice period ends and vigilance continues

The notice period for the launch of satellites, which North Korea had notified the Japan government and others, ended at 11:0 a.m. on the 2nd.

At the end of last month, North Korea said it would launch its first failed military reconnaissance satellite as soon as possible. Japan, the United States, and South Korea remain vigilant against launches using ballistic missile technology, which the United Nations Security Council has banned against North Korea. The failure has not yet been communicated to North Korean residents, and the National Space Development Administration says it will conduct a second launch.
