North Korea has announced a launch to send a satellite into orbit.

North Korea has announced a launch to send a satellite into orbit.

North Korea’s planned launch of a long-range rocket has set the world on edge, particularly since the regime announced it would be attaching a satellite to its device that would give it spy eyes in the sky.

The launch will put what North Korea has named Kwangmyongson, or Bright Star, into the orbit, an Earth observation satellite, the Associated Press reported. It’s due to go forth between February 8 and February 27, the International Maritime Organization said, citing a letter from Pyongyang.

The United States, South Korea and Japan all expressed anger with the planned launch, with South Korean presidential security adviser Cho Tae Yong warning the regime it would pay a “severe price” for the move, AP reported. Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, meanwhile, said to his country’s parliamentary members the missile launch is a serious threat and potential provocation.

America issued a statement denouncing the launch as well.

“This act would violate numerous Security Council resolutions by utilizing proscribed ballistic missile technology,” U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby said to the press, AP reported. “It also comes on the heels, as you know, of the January 6th nuclear test, which is itself an egregious violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.”

UNITED NATIONS: UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday (Feb 3) urged North Korea to drop plans for a rocket launch that would be in violation of a UN ban on missile technology.

"The secretary-general believes that it is important for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to refrain from using ballistic missile technology and to work for peace and stability on the Korean peninsula," UN spokesman Farhan Haq said.

North Korea has notified three UN agencies that it plans to launch an earth observation satellite as early as Monday, just weeks after its fourth nuclear test. The announcement drew a strong response from the United States and Japan, while China, Pyongyang's ally, expressed concerns that North Korea was preparing to flout UN rules.

The UN spokesman recalled that UN resolutions barring North Korea from developing missile technology "are of course international law."

Ban held talks on the planned rocket launch in London at the International Maritime Organisation, which received a notice from North Korea.

The UN chief said North Korea's announcement was "a deeply troubling development". "It will further aggravate the profound concerns that the international community already has in the wake of the nuclear test," said a statement from his spokesman.

A former South Korean foreign minister, Ban offered his help to reduce tensions and facilitate dialogue with Pyongyang.

The UN Security Council is working on a new sanctions draft resolution to punish North Korea after it carried out a nuclear test on Jan 6, but a US-drafted text has run into resistance from Beijing.

UN diplomats have described the US-drafted resolution as ambitious and strong, but there has been little progress in persuading China to back the measures over the past several weeks. It remained unclear whether North Korea's latest announcement will nudge China closer to the tougher US stance, diplomats said.

The council has imposed four sets of sanctions on North Korea since it first tested an atomic device in 2006. There are 20 North Korean entities and 12 individuals on the UN sanctions blacklist, which provides for an assets freeze and a global travel ban.
