North Korean officials harshly criticized those responsible for failed spy satellite launch, state media says
“the most serious” shortcoming this year and harshly criticized those responsible, state media reported Monday.
A lengthy Korean Central News Agency dispatch on the meeting didn’t clearly say who spoke, but said a report to the meeting “bitterly criticized the officials who irresponsibly conducted the preparations for satellite launch.” A spy satellite is among several high-tech military assets Kim has publicly vowed to acquire to cope with what he calls U.S.-led hostility. Other weapons systems Kim wants to possess are a multi-warhead missile, a nuclear submarine, a solid-propellant intercontinental ballistic missile and a hypersonic missile.
During the party meeting, Politburo members claimed “big strides” in efforts to expand North Korea’s arsenal of nuclear weapons and missiles, which they said support the government’s policy of maintaining “frontal confrontation” against its enemies, KCNA said. The North Korean Politburo members set down unspecified “important tasks” for defending national interests and strengthening solidarity with countries that are “opposed to the U.S. brigandish strategy for world supremacy,” KCNA said.
