UNITED NATIONS, United States, Nov 22, 2023 (Net) – United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres deplored North Korea’s launch of a military spy satellite into orbit, his spokesman said Tuesday.
“The Secretary-General strongly condemns the launch of yet another military satellite using ballistic mis-sile technology by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea,” his spokesman Farhan Haq said in a statement.
A rocket carrying the satellite blasted off Tuesday from North Phyongan province and “accurately put the reconnaissance satellite ‘Malligyong-1’ on its orbit,” state news agency KCNA reported.
“Any launch by the DPRK using ballistic missile technology is contrary to the relevant Security Council resolutions,” Haq added.
