North Korean Satellite

South Korean, Chinese and Japanese leaders were set to meet in Seoul Monday for their first trilateral summit in nearly five years, after the nuclear-armed North announced plans to put another satellite into orbit.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reportedly demolished several buildings at one of his luxurious residences, according to experts and satellite images.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reviewed images taken by his country's new spy satellite of "major target regions" in South Korea, including its capital and cities hosting US military bases, state media said Saturday.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un celebrated a "new era of a space power" with scientists and his family, reports said Friday, after the North successfully put a military spy satellite into orbit.

North Korea claimed Wednesday to have successfully put its first military surveillance satellite into orbit, with the South also preparing to send up its first spy satellite later this month.

South Korea's military said on Wednesday it had retrieved the wreckage of a North Korean spy satellite that plunged into the sea in May after a botched launch and found it had no meaningful military use as a reconnaissance satellite.

A North Korean satellite launch that ended in failure will provide a trove of information about the secretive state's rocket program as South Korea salvages large sections from the bottom of the sea.

South Korea's military said Friday it had successfully retrieved a large chunk of a crashed North Korean space rocket from the sea bed after 15 days of complex salvage operations.

Several thousand South Korean and U.S. troops took part in joint live-fire exercises on Thursday, in a show of force after North Korea's failed attempt last month to launch a spy satellite ratcheted up tensions in the region.

South Korea's military released images of part of a North Korean spy satellite that crashed soon after launch Wednesday due to a rocket failure, with Seoul's military finding and salvaging the debris.

Wailing air raid sirens and cell phone alerts calling for rare evacuations rattled residents of the South Korean capital, Seoul, early on Wednesday after North Korea launched what it said was a satellite.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has ordered officials to launch its first spy satellite as planned, saying that boosting the country's reconnaissance capabilities is a key priority to counter "threats" from the U.S. and South Korea.

Satellite images show a high level of activity at North Korea's main nuclear site, a US think tank reported on Saturday after the North Korean leader ordered an increase in production of bomb fuel to expand the country's nuclear arsenal.

North Korea could test-fire intercontinental ballistic missiles at a normal angle and conduct its seventh nuclear test this year to perfect its nuclear and missile capabilities, South Korean lawmakers said on Wednesday, citing intelligence officials.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called on the country's military to "bolster up their strength in every way to annihilate the enemy", state media reported on Friday, as new satellite imagery showed increased preparations for a possible nuclear test.
