Seoul salvages wreckage of Pyongyang’s spy satellite FMTNews FMTWorld
South Korean howitzers take positions in Paju after the North launched a spy satellite into space today.
But the rocket lost thrust and plunged into the sea with its satellite payload, the official Korean Central News Agency reported. This sparked widespread consternation online, before the interior ministry clarified minutes later the alert had been “incorrectly issued”. Because long-range missiles and rockets used for space launches share the same technology, analysts say developing the ability to put a satellite in orbit would provide Pyongyang with cover for testing its banned intercontinental ballistic missiles .Both flew over Japan’s southern Okinawa region.Prior to today’s launch, Pyongyang had launched five satellites since 1998, three of which failed immediately and two of which appeared to have been put into orbit.
