North Korea has called its failed spy satellite launch on June 16 “the most serious” shortcoming in its space program, and vowed to launch a second satellite soon. The launch was seen as a test of North Korea’s long-range missile technology, and came just days after the country conducted a series of short-range missile tests.
In a statement released by the North Korean government, the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un, said that the failed launch was “a serious setback” and that “those responsible will be held accountable.” Kim also said that North Korea would continue to develop its space program and that it would “launch a second satellite in the near future.”
The failed launch has raised concerns about North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs. The United States and its allies have warned North Korea that it will face further sanctions if it continues to develop its nuclear and missile capabilities.
North Korea has long been developing its space program, and it has launched a number of satellites into orbit in recent years. However, the country’s space program has been criticized by the United States and its allies, who say that North Korea is using its space program to develop long-range missiles that could be used to deliver nuclear weapons.
The failed launch is a setback for North Korea, but it is not clear what impact it will have on the country’s nuclear and missile programs. North Korea has a history of defying international pressure, and it is possible that the country will continue to develop its nuclear and missile capabilities despite the failed launch.
The United States and its allies will continue to monitor North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs closely. If North Korea continues to develop its nuclear and missile capabilities, the United States and its allies may take further action, such as imposing additional sanctions.
