Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, has announced that Pyongyang will soon put a spy satellite into orbit, North Korean state news agency KCNA reported. Kim Yo Jong also urged to step up military monitoring activities.
KCNA quoted Kim Yo Jong as saying, “The adversaries are very afraid of North Korea’s access to sophisticated intelligence and information facilities, including spy satellites.” “Therefore, we know that we need to direct more efforts towards the development of intelligence operations,” he added.
In his statement, Kim also said criticism of his country’s satellite launches was a “contradiction of norms” as the US and other countries had already launched “thousands of satellites”.
