N.Korea Spy Satellite: Second spy satellite launch also ends in failure; N.Korea vows next attempt
North Korea has confirmed that its second attempt to launch a spy satellite has failed but it has vowed to make another attempt in October, demonstrating its willingness to endure flops to acquire a key military asset coveted by leader Kim Jong Un.
The North’s space agency said it used the new-type carrier rocket Chollima-1 to put the reconnaissance satellite Malligyong-1 into orbit.
It said the flights of the rocket’s first and second stages were normal, but the launch eventually failed due to an error in the emergency blasting system during the third-stage flight.
Ukraine has launched a new assault into Russia's Kursk region, five months since Kyiv's surprise incursion into the same border area. Russia has been trying to force the Ukrainian troops out of its territory by sending in reinforcements, including the North Korean soldiers.

North Korea has conducted a ballistic missile test coinciding with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to South Korea for high-level diplomatic talks. The missile, believed to be an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), traveled over 1,100 kilometers before landing in the sea. South Korea's military condemned the act as a "clear provocation," while the timing raises questions about Pyongyang's intent to influence the summit discussions. As tensions rise, South Korea, the U.S., and Japan are coordinating their response. Is this a strategic warning from North Korea, or a sign of further escalation to come?

Russia expressed concern over the unfolding political crisis in South Korea, following President Yoon Suk Yeol's brief declaration of martial law and subsequent reversal. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that Moscow was monitoring the "tragic situation" in South Korea, but reassured that there were no threats to Russian citizens in the country. Zakharova also pointed to the "provocative actions" of the United States and its allies as contributing factors to the instability on the Korean Peninsula. Russia has recently strengthened its ties with North Korea, including a mutual defense agreement signed between President Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Meanwhile, the political situation in South Korea has sparked international backlash, with lawmakers submitting a bill to impeach President Yoon.
