Kim Jong Un’s sister says North Korea will ‘correctly’ position satellite after failed launch

June 1 (EUROPA PRESS) –

Kim Yo Jong, sister of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, has affirmed this Wednesday that North Korea will “correctly” place the military reconnaissance satellite, a day after a failed attempt that fell into the Yellow Sea and caused brief alerts from evacuation in the South Korean capital Seoul and Okinawa Prefecture, the northernmost island of the Japanese archipelago.

“Undoubtedly, the military reconnaissance satellite of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) will be correctly placed in space orbit in the near future and will begin its mission,” he indicated while criticizing the United States’ complaints about the launch of this Tuesday, according to a statement collected by the KCNA agency.

Thus, Kim has indicated that “Washington openly reveals its inveterate hostility towards the DPRK by launching its military reconnaissance satellite, which belongs to its right to self-defense.”

“If the launch of satellites from the DPRK must be censored in particular, the US and all other countries must be denounced, which have already launched thousands of satellites. This is nothing more than a self-contradictory sophistry,” he said, questioning “who is escalating tension “unnecessarily and destabilizing the regional security situation.”

In this regard, he has denounced the “crazy logic that only” Pyongyang should comply with the United Nations Security Council resolution banning the use of ballistic missile technology.

Likewise, he has asserted that the North Korean authorities do not feel “the need to dialogue with the United States and its puppets”, in reference to South Korea, whom he accuses of “continuing to commit reckless acts of infringing (their) sovereign right”.

“We confirm once again that the enemies are very afraid of the DPRK’s access to excellent reconnaissance and information means, including the reconnaissance satellite, and therefore we are aware that we should direct greater efforts to the development of these means,” he said. finished kim.

The White House “strongly” condemned the launch of a military reconnaissance satellite-carrying rocket, which “uses ballistic missile technology”, as it is a “flagrant violation of multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions, increases tensions and runs the risk of destabilizing the security situation beyond the region.”

“In this alleged space launch, technologies directly related to the intercontinental ballistic missile program of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) have been used,” reads a statement.

In addition, the White House urged “all countries” to condemn this launch and ask the North Korean authorities to “come to the table to engage in serious negotiations.” “The door to diplomacy has not been closed, but Pyongyang must immediately cease its provocative actions and opt instead for compromise,” the letter added.
