North Korea has said it successfully launched a military spy satellite on its third attempt in six months. North Korea’s neighbours and their allies are taking a cautious approach to its purported success this time. To launch a more capable satellite, North Korea will probably need to develop a larger rocket, which it appears to be doing, he said. “This is not the first time North Korea has shown its competition with South Korea. North Korea’s first yet failed satellite launch came six days after South Korea successfully launched its homegrown Nuri rocket,” it said.
