Japan has been notified that North Korea will launch a satellite in the coming days

North Korea’s “war scenario for aggression” warning: South Korea, Japan and the United States evacuated after North Korea launches a rocket

The official news agency of the North said it wanted to ask whether the people could cope with the consequences of their war gambles.

The South Korean and United States conducted large-scale live-fire drills near the border with North Korea to mark 70 years since establishment of their alliance. North Korea warned Monday that the U.S. and South Korea will face unspecified consequences for their “war scenario for aggression on” North Korea.

Lee Choon Geun, a research fellow at the Science and Technology Policy Institute, said that North Korea could build a system with three to five spy satellites and watch the Korean Peninsula in real time.

South Korea and Japan evacuated people Wednesday after North Korea launched a rocket in an apparent effort to put a military spy satellite into space.

Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said he instructed officials to do their utmost to gather and analyze information related to the launch and inform people about it, his office said.

Matsuno said it was possible the satellite would enter or pass above Japan’s southwestern islands including Okinawa, where the United States has major military bases and thousands of troops.

Japan has already been on standby for falling missile debris from North Korean launches earlier this year and has deployed missile defense systems such as PAC-3 and ship-to-air interceptors in southwestern Japan.

Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said the launch would violate U.N. resolutions and was a “threat to the peace and safety of Japan, the region and the international community.”

Japan’s coast guard issued a safety warning for ships in the area on those dates because of the possible risks from falling debris. The reason North Korea gave for giving Japan’s coast guard a notice is that it coordinates and distributes maritime safety information in East Asia.

TOKYO — North Korea on Monday notified neighboring Japan that it plans to launch a satellite in coming days, which may be an attempt to put Pyongyang’s first military reconnaissance satellite into orbit.

The talks with the U.S. about nuclear weapons have been stopped. In the meantime, Kim has focused on expanding his nuclear and missile arsenals in what experts say is an attempt to wrest concessions from Washington and Seoul. North Korea has carried out at least 100 missile tests since the beginning of the year.

Tracking, monitoring, discriminating, controlling, and responding to moves by the United States and its allies are some of the things that those assets are tasked with.

Following the launch, the South Korean capital of Seoul issued alerts over public speakers and cellphone text messages telling residents to prepare for evacuation. But there were no reports of damages or major disruption and Seoul later lifted the alert.

South Korea’s military was trying to confirm whether the launch was successful, according to the statement, which also noted that South Korea has bolstered its military readiness in close coordination with the United States.

The joint chiefs of staff said that the rocket was launched from the northwestern area of the North’s main space launch center.
