North Korea announced that it is preparing to send a satellite into space, contrary to the claims that it will test a long-range missile. North Korea, which has made a name for itself with its nuclear tests, is now launching satellites into space. It was noted that it will be launched from the city of Hwadae in the northeast. It is believed that the -2s are the launch site.

North Korea, in a statement last week, declared that it has the right to carry out space studies, and it was accepted that this statement was intended to hide long-range rocket tests.

The Pyongyang administration fired short-range Taepodong-1 rockets on the Japanese side in 1998, and argued that they “placed satellites in orbit” against the backlash.
