North Korea's Second Attempt at Spy Satellite Launch Revealed to Japan

North Korea has notified Japan of its plans to launch a satellite in the coming days, potentially as a second attempt to put a military spy satellite into orbit after its failed launch in May. The launch plan violates U.N. Security Council resolutions and has been condemned by South Korea as an illegal provocation. The announcement comes during annual U.S.-South Korean military drills, which North Korea views as a threat and is expected to respond with more missile tests. 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.
