North Korea has announced plans to launch a rocket carrying its second military spy satellite, drawing strong rebukes from South Korea and Japan. The launch is set to take place over an eight-day period starting Monday, in violation of U.N. resolutions.
The notification of the planned launch coincided with a trilateral meeting between South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, and Chinese Premier Li Qiang in Seoul. Japan's coast guard was informed by North Korea about the planned launch of a 'satellite rocket,' with cautionary warnings issued for maritime safety in the region.
