North Korea does not have a functioning satellite in space, experts say. theSun thesundaily NorthKorea Seoul spysatellite evacuationwarning
: North Korea launched its purported spy satellite Wednesday, the South’s military said, prompting confusion in Seoul as the city briefly issued an evacuation warning in error.
North Korea on Tuesday confirmed it planned to launch what it called “military reconnaissance satellite No. 1” before June 11, having told Japan of its plans a day earlier. Soon after the launch, Seoul city authorities sent an emergency text message alert to residents saying: “Citizens, please prepare to evacuate and allow children and the elderly to evacuate first” as an air raid siren sounded in central Seoul.
North Korea said Tuesday its new spy satellite would be “indispensable to tracking, monitoring... and coping with in advance in real time the dangerous military acts of the US and its vassal forces”. Japan briefly activated its missile alert warning system for the Okinawa region early Wednesday, lifting it after about 30 minutes.Since diplomatic efforts collapsed in 2019, North Korea has doubled down on military development, conducting a string of banned weapons tests, including test-firing multiple ICBMs.
