“We plan to confirm whether the satellite is operating normally through communication with overseas ground stations,” it added.The latest developments intensify a space race on the Korean peninsula after the North launched its first military eye in the sky in November last year. North Korea, meanwhile, has claimed its spy satellite has sent images of a US naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and “major target” sites across South Korea.
