North Korea’s spy satellite program is an “indispensable” measure to counter US space militarization aimed at beefing up the United States’ preemptive nuclear strike capability and securing “world supremacy,” state media KCNA said on Tuesday.
Ri Song Jin, a researcher of the National Aerospace Technology Administration, accused the United States of seeking greater military hegemony in Asia by expanding its space force in an article titled “US space force deployment aimed at preemptive aggression war”, Reuters reported.
Ri singled out a recent trip by the US Space Force commander to Tokyo, and the deployment of a Space Force component in South Korea, where its members took part in joint military drills for the first time this year.
