North Korea has announced that it “successfully” launched a rocket carrying a military spy satellite late Tuesday night, calling the capability a “legitimate right” after the U.S. and others condemned two failed attempts earlier this year.
The National Aerospace Technology Administration (NATA) successfully launched the military reconnaissance satellite "Malligyong-1" on “the new satellite carrier rocket Chollima-1” from the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground, state media reported Wednesday morning, adding leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the event.
