North Korea has announced a launch to send a satellite into orbit.
North Korea’s planned launch of a long-range rocket has set the world on edge, particularly since the regime announced it would be attaching a satellite to its device that would give it spy eyes in the sky.
The launch will put what North Korea has named Kwangmyongson, or Bright Star, into the orbit, an Earth observation satellite, the Associated Press reported. It’s due to go forth between February 8 and February 27, the International Maritime Organization said, citing a letter from Pyongyang.
The United States, South Korea and Japan all expressed anger with the planned launch, with South Korean presidential security adviser Cho Tae Yong warning the regime it would pay a “severe price” for the move, AP reported. Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, meanwhile, said to his country’s parliamentary members the missile launch is a serious threat and potential provocation.
America issued a statement denouncing the launch as well.
“This act would violate numerous Security Council resolutions by utilizing proscribed ballistic missile technology,” U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby said to the press, AP reported. “It also comes on the heels, as you know, of the January 6th nuclear test, which is itself an egregious violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.”
