The North Korean regime on Sunday conducted an “important test” for the development of a spy satellite, state-run media said, following claims that a ballistic missile was fired from the east coast of Pyongyang.

The regime conducted “vertical and oblique photographing of a specific area on earth” with cameras loaded on the “reconnaissance satellite” on Feb. 27, state-run outlet Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said on Monday.
