On Wednesday, Pyongyang sent balloons full of trash, toilet paper and suspected animal faeces into the South, with Seoul’s military slamming Pyongyang for their “low class” actions. North Korea said late Monday that the rocket carrying its “Malligyong-1-1” reconnaissance satellite exploded minutes after launch due to a suspected engine problem.
In a speech released by the official Korean Central News Agency late Wednesday, Kim said the country was undeterred by the recent failed satellite launch. Monday’s launch was widely condemned, including by Seoul, Japan and the United States. The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to meet Friday to discuss that incident.
