North Korea says leader Kim Jong Un urged his military scientists to overcome a failed satellite launch and continue developing his nation's space-based reconnaissance capabilities. State media reported Kim described such capabilities as crucial for countering U.S. and South Korean military activities.

The South Korea n military on Tuesday released a video showing its surveillance of a North Korea n rocket exploding in mid-air shortly after its launch. The footage was filmed by a military patrol ship deployed in the country’s northwestern island region, the South Korea n Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

Kim visited the North’s Academy of Defense Sciences a day after a rocket carrying what would have been his country’s second military reconnaissance satellite exploded shortly after liftoff. North Korea’s aerospace technology administration said the explosion was possibly related to the reliability of a newly developed rocket engine that was fueled by liquid oxygen and petroleum.East, Southeast Asia had record methamphetamine seizures last year.

Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have increased in recent months as the pace of both Kim’s weapons demonstrations and the United States’ combined military exercises with South Korea and Japan have intensified in a cycle of tit-for-tat.
