    North Korea’s Failed Satellite Launch Possibly Supported by Russia

    North Korea’s Satellite Launch Attempt and Alleged Russian Support

    South Korean lawmakers revealed that Russia may have assisted North Korea in its unsuccessful attempt to launch a reconnaissance satellite in May. This information comes from South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS).

    The Failed Satellite Launch

    North Korea claimed it used a new “liquid oxygen and petroleum engine” in the satellite that exploded shortly after take-off. However, the NIS reported to lawmakers that there were no indications North Korea had developed such an engine independently. It is believed the technology likely originated from Russia. Lee Seong-kweun, a member of the parliamentary intelligence committee, stated that the use of liquid oxygen and kerosene in the engine suggests possible Russian support.

    Historical Context of Support

    The NIS also noted Russia’s assistance in North Korea’s successful launch of its first reconnaissance satellite last November. This launch followed a rare visit to Russia by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. During this visit, President Vladimir Putin promised to help North Korea with satellite technology. Putin reciprocated with a visit to Pyongyang in June, where both countries signed a “comprehensive strategic partnership” agreement. Although both nations deny any arms transactions, they have committed to strengthening military cooperation.

    Kim Jong Un’s Daughter’s Future Role

    The NIS also indicated that Kim Jong Un’s daughter, Ju Ae, is being groomed to become the next leader of North Korea. While North Korean state media has reported on her public appearances, it has not commented on her political future.

    US-South Korea Intelligence Cooperation

    In other intelligence-related news, South Korean lawmakers were briefed on the recent indictment in the US of Sue Mi Terry, a former CIA and National Security Council member. Terry was charged with acting as an unregistered agent for South Korea in exchange for luxury goods and other gifts. Despite this indictment, the NIS assured lawmakers that intelligence cooperation between the US and South Korea remains strong and is expanding. Park Sun-won, another member of the intelligence committee, confirmed that the NIS is working diligently to address any issues highlighted by this incident.
