Pyongyang reports space spy tech test

North Korea claimed to have conducted a test of space reconnaissance equipment during a missile launch on Sunday. State media published what is purported to be images of the adjacent South Korean cities of Seoul and Incheon made during the test.

The space launch was conducted by the National Aerospace Development Administration (NADA) from the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground and was an “important final-stage test” for the North Korean spy satellite program, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said in a statement on Monday.
