North Korea's Second Attempt at Military Spy Satellite Launch Imminent

North Korea has notified Japan of its plans to launch a satellite in the coming days, possibly as a second attempt to put a military spy satellite into orbit after its first effort failed in May. The launch, which violates U.N. Security Council resolutions, is seen as an illegal provocation by South Korea. The announcement comes during annual U.S.-South Korean military drills, and North Korea's state media warned that the drills are deepening the danger of a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula. The leaders of the U.S., South Korea, and Japan recently met and agreed to increase defense cooperation to address North Korea's nuclear and military threats.
