Korea, South: State media reported on Wednesday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un approved the "future action plan" of the country's first military spy satellite after inspecting it.
Kim met with the Non-extremely durable Satellite Send off Preliminary Advisory group on Tuesday prior to survey the satellite, the Korean Focal News Organization (KCNA) announced.

A month prior, Kim expressed development of the satellite was finished and gave the go-ahead for its send off That report on April 18 came a little over a week after Pyongyang said it had launched a new solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile, which represented a significant advancement in its banned weapons programs.

According to analysts, the development of ICBMs and capabilities for space launch share a lot of the same technological components.

On Tuesday, "in the wake of familiarizing himself exhaustively with crafted by the panel, (Kim) examined the tactical observation satellite No. 1, which is prepared for stacking subsequent to going through the last broad gathering check and space climate test", KCNA said Kim stated that his country will exercise its right to self-defense and that the United States and South Korea have escalated what he called "confrontational moves" against the North.
Kim then, at that point "supported the future activity plan of the preliminary board", KCNA added.

One of Kim's most important defense projects for 2021 was the creation of a military reconnaissance satellite.

In December 2022, North Korea said it had done an "significant last stage test" for the improvement of a government operative satellite, which it said it would finish by April this year


Experts in South Korea at the time quickly questioned the findings, claiming that the black-and-white images released by North Korea, purportedly taken from a satellite, were of poor quality.

Although Kim stated last month that the satellite would be launched "at the planned date," Pyongyang has not specified a launch date.
Last year, North Korea declared that it was an "irreversible" nuclear power, effectively putting an end to talks about denuclearization.

Pyongyang would battle to do satellite surveillance with its own innovation and without cutting edge help from Russia or China, examiners say In any case, "since North Korea's surveillance satellites are a significant figure the occasion of an atomic preplanned strike, they represent a huge danger toward the South", Yangr Moo-jin, leader of the College of North Korean Examinations in Seoul, told AFP last month.

Washington and Seoul have sloped up protection participation accordingly, arranging joint military activities with cutting edge covertness planes and high-profile US vital resources.
