Tokyo. According to information from the Japanese government, North Korea is planning another attempt to launch a military reconnaissance satellite. The government in Tokyo announced on Tuesday that it had been informed that North Korea intends to launch a rocket carrying a satellite into space between midnight on Tuesday (local time) and midnight on December 1. North Korea has failed twice already this year in its attempt to place a military reconnaissance satellite into orbit. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida ordered his government to coordinate with the United States, Japan’s protector, and neighboring South Korea to pressure North Korea not to carry out the launch.
