North Korea claims to have successfully launched a military spy satellite into space. British media BBC reported that the country launched the epidemic at midnight on Wednesday (November 22) despite condemnation from neighboring countries.

Such satellites could reportedly be used to give Kim Jong Un early warning of possible attacks. This allows for more precise planning and decision-making when dealing with the enemy. State news agency KCNA reported that a military spy satellite named Maligyong-1 had successfully entered orbit.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un watched the launch of the satellite. According to media reports, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been planning to launch a spy satellite into space for some time. For his benefit, the satellite was launched early. 

The satellite launch was originally scheduled to start on Wednesday local time and end at 11:59 pm local time on November 30. At the same time, in response to North Korea's launch of a spy satellite, Japan said that North Korea's actions violated United Nations resolutions.

The United Nations Security Council has banned Pyongyang from launching satellites. They believe North Korea will test missile technology under the guise of launching a satellite. Meanwhile, Kang Ho-pil, director of the Operations Department of South Korea's General Staff, warned that Seoul would take necessary measures against Pyongyang if the launch was successful.
