North Korea announces successful launch of spy satellite

North Korea claims it has successfully put a military spy satellite into space, prompting condemnation from neighboring countries.

State news agency KCNA said the satellite, named Malligyong-1, had entered orbit accurately.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un observed the launch, the agency added.

Japan's prime minister, Fumio Kishida, condemned its launch, which flew over the country's Okinawa prefecture and toward the Pacific Ocean.

The White House described the move as a "brazen violation" of multiple United Nations resolutions.

The Japanese government briefly issued an emergency warning, telling residents in Okinawa to take shelter. North Korea has tried twice this year and failed to put a military satellite into orbit. She had told Japan she intended to make a third attempt.

Kishida condemned the launch "in the strongest terms" and said a complaint had been filed with North Korea./ CNA
