North Korea vows to destroy US spy satellites if attacked

North Korea threatened Saturday to destroy US spy satellites if Washington attempted any attack on its space asset following the launch of Pyongyang’s first military eye in the sky last week.

A spokesman for the North’s defence ministry stated such a move would be considered a declaration of war.

Following a US official’s remark that Washington could deny an adversary’s space and counter space capabilities… using various reversible and irreversible means, alluding to the North’s successful spy satellite launch in late November.

According to Sheryll Klinkel, a spokesperson for the US Space Command, the US military may damage the effectiveness and lethality of adversary forces across all domains.

North Korea is prohibited from conducting ballistic missile tests under previous rounds of UN resolutions, and analysts say there is significant technological overlap between space launch capabilities and the development of ballistic missiles.

The North’s launch of Malligyong-1 was its third attempt to place such a satellite in orbit, following two previous failures.
