North Korea notified Japan of its planned satellite launch plan from May 31 through June 11 when Kim Jong Un prepares to put his first military spy satellite into orbit.
In early June North Korea told Japan it would establish a maritime danger zone, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported, citing Japan's Kyodo News.
Should the US Tell Kim Jong Un that U.S. nuclear weapons would not be used without hysteria, Trump-Era National Security Chief Kim Jong Un said.
The report added that Pyongyang also informed the International Maritime Organization of its plan for the satellite launch.
The developments came after Pyongyang said earlier this year that it had completed building its first military spy satellite and final preparations were underway to launch the satellite. The North Korean dictator also recently inspected a non-permanent committee responsible for preparing for the launch of a military reconnaissance satellite and approved its future action plan. The U.S. State Department has criticized North Korea, stating that any launch involving ballistic missile technology, including the use of space launch vehicles SLVs, would be a violation of numerous UNSC resolutions.
A U.S.-based think tank report citing commercial satellite images last week also revealed that construction at North Korea's satellite launching station had hit a new level of urgency. As part of a strategy to enhance and modernize the country s military capabilities, the North Korean leader highlighted a military reconnaissance satellite as a crucial defence project in a plan outlined in 2021.
