SEOUL -- North Korean state media reported Monday that the country had conducted an important final-stage test for the development of a reconnaissance satellite, apparently referring to the Sunday launch of two ballistic missiles.
According to the Korean Central News Agency, the test was conducted by North Korea's National Aerospace Development Administration at the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground, a missile test site in Tongchang-ri in the northwest of the country. The country's space agency announced it would "finish the preparations for the first military reconnaissance satellite by April 2023."
