North Korea Vows Second Launch After 'Gravest Failure' of Spy Satellite Launch

North Korean officials criticized those responsible for the country's failed spy satellite launch and vowed to push for a second attempt. The failed launch was discussed heavily at a three-day ruling party meeting, with Kim Jong Un and other top officials present. North Korea has carried out more than 100 missile tests since the start of 2022, some of which were related to developing a spy satellite and other powerful weapons on Kim's wish-list. The country also seeks to expand its arsenal of nuclear weapons and missiles. The party meeting also discussed national efforts to improve North Korea's struggling economy.
