North Korea Vows Second Launch After Failed Spy Satellite Attempt.

North Korean officials vow to attempt a second launch of a spy satellite after the first attempt failed in May. The failed launch was discussed at a three-day ruling party meeting, with officials criticizing those responsible and setting tasks to learn from the failure. North Korea has carried out over 100 missile tests since the start of 2022, some related to developing a spy satellite and other powerful weapons. The meeting also discussed efforts to improve North Korea's struggling economy and the "extremely deteriorating security situation" caused by the "reckless war moves" of North Korea's rivals, apparently referring to the expanded U.S.-South Korea military drills.
