SEOUL, South Korea—North Korea said it conducted “another important” test for reconnaissance satellite systems, state news agency KCNA reported on March 6, a day after regional military authorities reported the launch of a ballistic missile from the country for the second time in a week.
The launch drew condemnation from governments in the United States, South Korea, and Japan, which warn that the rogue regime is preparing to conduct a major weapons test within months. They see the North’s satellite launches as thinly veiled tests of ballistic missile technology banned by United Nations Security Council resolutions.
