North Korea calls failed first spy satellite launch ‘most serious’ mistake

Seoul. North Korea’s top officials have vowed to repeat the failed first launch of a spy satellite, calling it the “most serious” blunder of the year, while sharply criticizing those responsible. The country’s official media gave this information in its report on Monday. The failed launch and efforts to modernize North Korea’s weapons were discussed in depth at the ruling party meeting. The three-day meeting, which was attended by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and other top officials, ended on Sunday.

The Korean Central News Agency, in its report on the meeting, did not say who addressed it, but said that “officials were sharply criticized for irresponsibly preparing the launch”. It is said that officials and scientists have been instructed to learn lessons from the failure, find out the reasons for the crash of the rocket and launch it again in a short time. The news committee did not specify in its report when the re-launch would happen, but South Korea’s intelligence agency informed lawmakers that it could take “several weeks” for North Korea to find out what the launch was. There is a shortage.

Monitoring organizations of North Korea have not given any information regarding the dismissal of scientists or other people involved in the launch or any ill-treatment with them. Observers say the country’s leader Kim Jong Un treats scientists and technicians involved in the country’s weapons-building program well. In late May, a North Korean rocket carrying a spy satellite crashed shortly after launch. This dealt a blow to Kim’s efforts to acquire a space-based surveillance system to keep an eye on the US and South Korea. Many countries around the world criticized North Korea for the launch.
